Norwegian debutants Bodo/Glimt claimed one of the biggest upsets in Champions League history by stunning Premier League Manchester City 3-1 in the cold of the Arctic Circle. Played on an artificial surface, Pep Guardiola's youngsters froze in the -9C temperatures as City suffered another embarrassing loss following Saturday's derby defeat by Manchester United. Glimt thoroughly deserved their victory, having taken a shock lead in the 22nd minute as Ole Didrik Blomberg's looping cross to the back post was headed in by Kasper Hogh. It proved costly, allowing the hosts to double their lead as Blomberg again cut the ball across the box for Hogh to convert a fine first-time finish. There was no way back for City thereafter and they will require a victory against Galatasaray in the final group phase game to secure a top-eight place, while Glimt kept alive their hopes of reaching the play-off round.
