Erling Haaland only needed one moment.

The Norwegian slid in a 78th-minute winner as Manchester City beat RB Leipzig 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday. It came on just his 13th touch of the game.

Elliot Anderson set it up with a superb ball to the back post.

Back and forth

City led at halftime after an own goal by Castello Lukeba. Ridle Baku equalized early in the second half.

Enzo Fernandez put City back in front before Antonio Nusa leveled it again for Leipzig. Then Haaland struck.

Room to grow

Haaland was happy with the result but not with how City got there.

"I think we need to step up a little bit," he said. "I think when we were 1-0, I think we needed to push forward a bit more to go at it, go for the second and then hopefully go for the third."

"That's the good part, you can always get better," he added.

Leipzig's tormentor

It was Haaland's 14th goal of the season. He now has 13 goals in nine career games against Leipzig, his most against any opponent.

Manager Enzo Maresca was pleased to bounce back after a loss to Brighton on Saturday, City's second straight defeat in the Premier League.

"It's Germany away," Maresca said. "It's always difficult, so we're happy with the win."
