Sporting CP marked the last home game of coach Ruben Amorim’s reign in stunning fashion. Viktor Gyokeres’ hat-trick saw them come from behind to beat Manchester City 4-1 and maintain their excellent start to the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Portuguese leaders were outplayed for most of the first half and should have been further behind than Phil Foden’s early goal, but Gyokeres equalized before half-time.

City were left cold at the start of the second period as Maximiliano Araujo finished off a flowing move straight from kick-off, before Gyokeres put Sporting ahead from the penalty spot a few minutes later.

Erling Haaland had the chance to drag City back into the match but hit the crossbar with a penalty before Gyokeres finished for the hosts with another penalty that thrilled the crowd at Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Amorim, who takes over as Manchester United manager on November 11, leaves Sporting in a fantastic position in the Champions League group stage with 10 points from four games. City’s first defeat leaves them on seven points.
