Manchester City<\/a> beat RB Leipzig<\/a> 3-2, making it three wins from four for Enzo Maresca<\/a> in Europe this season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a controlled first half performance from Manchester City, having 66% of the ball, the only thing that separated the two sides at half-time was an unfortunate own-goal from Castello Lukeba<\/a>, turning a Nico O’Reilly cutback into his own net in the 37th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

But things sparked to life in the second half, with Ridle Baku<\/a> equalising after just four minutes in the second half, making for an interesting game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
