A 15-minute hat-trick from January signing Omar Marmoush set Pep Guardiola’s men on their way to victory.
And a late fourth from sub James McAtee ensured City bounced back from their midweek European defeat to Real Madrid in style.
But the champs didn’t have things all their own way.
With just moments left of the game, Haaland collapsed to the ground clutching his knee in agony.
The forward looked to be in discomfort as medics checked him over.
And City decided not to take any further risks as they hauled off the field.
Haaland then made his way to the bench with a pained expression on his face.
City doctors will now examine the hitman ahead of tough games against Real Madrid and Liverpool.
But some fans fear Haaland could be out for the remainder of the season, having already lost Rodri to an ACL setback.
One said: “Haaland jammed his knee just like Rodri did.”
Another declared: “We need Haaland for Real.”
One noted: “I hope he is OK.”
Another added: “Let’s hope it’s not serious.”
