It got more frustrating for the Citizens as Erling Haaland struck the post from the spot in the first half.

However, Haaland would grab his customary goal as he powered home a header in the 63rd minute.

It then looked like the visitors had thrown away the win in the 85th minute when Kyle Walker sloppily gave away possession and after some calm play from the hosts Jayden Bogle powered an effort home.

But City did not throw in the towel and retook the lead three minutes later as Rodri smashed an effort past Wes Foderingham to seal the win.
