Match Report
Gabriel Jesus helped himself to a hat-trick as Manchester City came from behind to win 4-1 and end Dinamo Zagreb's Champions League hopes.
Dinamo were eying a place in the knockout stages for the first time in their history and they were going through when Dani Olmo's sublime volley opened the scoring.
City headed into the match on the back of a chastening derby defeat to Manchester United and with their place in the last-16 as group winners already secured.
However, Pep Guardiola's side summoned the fight to pull level through Jesus' 34th-minute header and a quickfire brace early in the second half – taking the 22-year-old past 100 career goals – ended the argument, before Phil Foden got the goal his efforts deserved four minutes from full-time.

10' GOAL! Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 Man City (Olmo)
What a magnificent goal by the 21-year-old Spanish midfielder Olmo! He drifts into the box between City's defenders and smacks a first-time volley past Bravo!
Kadzior's left-footed cross in from the right was delicious and Olmo caught it oh so sweetly. Dinamo have the early lead!
19' CHANCE! Gundogan's shot saved
Mahrez skips towards the box from the right but finds himself blocked by Moubandje. Gundogan has a pop from outside the box and it's at a decent height for Livakovic to push it away
34' GOAL! Dinamo Zagreb 1-1 Man City (Jesus)
Dinamo have a man down injured but City play on. Mahrez pops a left-footed cross in from the right of his box and Gabriel nods home. That'll be controversial.
50' GOAL! Dinamo Zagreb 1-2 Man City (Jesus)
Jesus gets his second of the night with a beautifully crafted goal. The Brazilian slips into the box, sends Dilaver the wrong way and calmly strokes the ball past Livakovic. It's a long way back for Dinamo now, and his 100th goal for club and country.
54' GOAL! Dinamo Zagreb 1-3 Man City (Jesus)
Jesus gets his hat-trick and this game is done. Mendy gets slipped free down the left and whips in a fantastic cross for Jesus who arrows it home on the volley from six yards. That's a fine assist from Benjamin Mendy.
84' GOAL! Dinamo Zagreb 1-4 Man City (Foden)
Foden gets a deserved goal. City put together some neat and tidy passing to get around the back of Dinamo and Foden taps in from the penalty spot.
