Manchester City thrashes Juventus in statement win
Manchester City produced an attacking masterclass to defeat Juventus 5-2 at the FIFA Club World Cup, finishing top of Group G as the only team to have won all three of its matches.
Both teams came into the contest with maximum points, but it was Pep Guardiola's side that came out on top as it ran riot at the Camping World Stadium.
Jeremey Doku saw his ninth-minute opener quickly cancelled out by Teun Koopmeiners, who capitalised on a mistake by Ederson when trying to play out from the back.
City restored its lead in the 26th minute through Pierre Kalulu's comical own-goal, with substitute Erling Haaland bundling home his team's third seven minutes after half-time.
Phil Foden marked his introduction with a goal three minutes after entering the action, before Savinho's stunning strike from distance all but sealed the victory.
Juventus netted a late consolation thanks to Dusan Vlahovic, but it mattered little as City cruised to victory, setting up a clash with the runner-up of Group H in the next round, which will either be Real Madrid or RB Salzburg.
In the other group fixture taking place, Al Ain picked up their first win of the tournament after coming from behind to beat Wydad AC 2-1.
Cassius Mailula's early strike had given Wydad the lead, but goals either side of half-time from captain Kodjo Laba and Alejandro Romero completed the comeback.
