Brilliant Bodo/Glimt stunned Manchester City with a historic 3-1 triumph in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Despite dominating possession in the first half, Man City struggled to create many clear chances, while Bodo/Glimt's dangerous counter-attacks saw the hosts take a 2-0 lead into the break, with Kasper Hogh netting two goals in the space of two minutes.

A similar pattern emerged early in the second half, with Man City controlling the ball and Bodo/Glimt threatening on the counter, and the hosts managed to add a third to their lead thanks to a stunning Jens Petter Hauge goal. 

Manchester City immediately responded to going three behind as Rayan Cherki struck on the hour mark, but minutes later the Citizens found themselves down to 10 men as Rodri received his marching orders for two yellow card offences in 58 seconds.

Although Man City were once again in control of possession as they searched for a way back into the game, Bodo/Glimt looked comfortable in defence and were often the more threatening side, including Hauge hitting the bar and Hogh having a goal disallowed.

Ultimately, Bodo/Glimt retained their 3-1 lead at the full-time whistle, securing their first-ever victory and much-needed three points in the Champions League proper.

SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

Manchester City seemingly failed to learn their lesson from the Manchester derby defeat, controlling the ball but failing to break down the opposition defence, while being extremely vulnerable to the counter attack.

Bodo/Glimt deserve huge plaudits for the breath-taking speed of their counter-attacks, consistently picking the right passes to cut through Man City and transition from defence to attack in a matter of seconds.

Despite the intense pace of their play, the quality never dropped, with every pass and shot showcasing the fantastic ability of this Bodo/Glimt side, who were fully deserving of tonight's victory.

While Kjetil Knutsen deserves huge credit for getting the game plan spot on, Pep Guardiola will be left concerned by the lacklustre performances produced by his team in their last two matches. 

The result means Bodo/Glimt now trail the top 24 by just one point, although they do face a difficult last fixture against Atletico Madrid at Estadio Metropolitano. 

Meanwhile, Man City could be overtaken by several teams, leaving their top eight spot in danger heading into their final league phase match against Galatasaray.

Hogh gives Bodo/Glimt the lead against Manchester City!

Bodo/Glimt spring a counter through Ole Didrik Blomberg, who drives into the box, stumbles under the initial tackle from Abdukodir Khusanov, climbs back to his feet and clips a cross towards the back post.

The delivery perfectly picks out Hogh, who heads down into the ground and past Gianluigi Donnarumma, giving Bodo/Glimt the lead against the run of play.

Man City are caught in possession and Hogh scores again!

Max Alleyne fails to deal with a bouncing ball, Hauge snatches possession and plays a pass to Blomberg. 

Blomberg beats Khusanov to the ball and crosses to Hogh at the far post, and the unmarked striker shows great composure to curl a first-time effort into the top right corner.

62nd min: Rodri (Manchester City) red card

Manchester City are down to 10!

Just moments after receiving his first yellow card, Rodri pulls down a Bodo/Glimt player on the half-way line.

Hauge personified Bodo/Glimt's relentless and remarkable performance tonight, playing a key part in both defence and offence.
