Inbound Manchester United boss makes Champions League statement

Sporting marked the final home game of coach Ruben Amorim's reign in stunning fashion as Viktor Gyokeres' hat-trick saw them come from behind to thrash Manchester City 4-1 and maintain their superb start to the Champions League on Tuesday.

City were caught cold at the start of the second period as Maximiliano Araujo finished a flowing move straight from the kickoff, before Gyokeres put Sporting further ahead minutes later from the penalty spot.

Erling Haaland had the chance to drag City back into the game but struck the crossbar with a penalty before Gyokeres wrapped it up for the hosts with another spot kick to send the Estadio Jose Alvalade crowd into raptures.

Amorim, who will take over as Manchester United manager on Nov. 11, leaves Sporting in a fantastic position in the Champions League group phase with 10 points from four games. City's first defeat leaves them on seven points.

Guardiola admits Man City 'not stable' after Sporting shock

Pep Guardiola said his side “were not stable enough” after they capitulated in Lisbon to lose 4-1 to Sporting in the Champions League.

The Premier League champions had taken the lead inside four minutes through Phil Foden, and were by far the better side for much of the first half, but ceded all control after Viktor Gyokeres equalised with the first of his three goals.

The City boss rued his side’s missed chances, but did not make excuses for the loss, citing a need for his side to improve if they want to arrest their recent slide in form.

“Cannot say much when you lose 4-1. Congratulations to Sporting Lisbon for the game,” he said.

Amorim sends statement as Gyokeres hat-trick stuns Man City

Ruben Amorim jokingly claimed a win over Manchester City in his final Sporting home game would see fans label him the “next Sir Alex Ferguson”, but he might have been onto something after watching his side dismantle the Premier League champions 4-1 in Lisbon.

It could have all been so different, with City utterly dominant for so much of the first half. They took the lead after just four minutes through Phil Foden, who smashed home another goal in the Champions League after Ousmane Diomande lost the ball playing out from the back.

The goals that should have come never did though, with Erling Haaland’s miserable night starting with several near misses, including a header cleared off the line by fellow Scandinavian striking sensation, Viktor Gyokeres.
