City humbled in Norway as Rodri sees red
Manchester City’s bad week continued with an embarrassing and merited defeat in Norway – with Rodri sent off.
City were off the pace as rivals Manchester United beat them at the weekend and Pep Guardiola’s side were again punished by a rampant Bodo side who excelled on the counter attack on the way to a first ever win in the Champions League group stage.
There were just 117 seconds between two Kasper Hogh strikes in the first half as the Danish striker scored his first ever goals in the Champions League.
And Jens Petter Hauge – who scored twice against Tottenham earlier this season – added a third to pile on the misery for City.
Rayan Cherki momentarily put City back in touch but Rodri was then shown two yellow cards inside a minute for his first sending off in the Champions League.
Defeat leaves City still well placed to secure a place in the top eight and avoid the play-off round but they may be sweating in next week’s finale.
