Lisbon, Portugal – In a stunning upset, Sporting CP sent outgoing manager Rúben Amorim off with a resounding 4-1 victory over Manchester City in their Champions League clash.

Amorim, who is set to take over as manager of Manchester United, guided his team to a memorable win in his final home game for Sporting. The match saw City take the lead early with a goal from Phil Foden, but Sporting fought back to equalize before half-time with a strike from Viktor Gyökeres.

The second half witnessed an impressive display from Sporting as they scored three goals in quick succession. Maximiliano Araújo put them ahead before Gyökeres added two more goals, including a penalty, to complete his hat-trick and secure a resounding win.

The defeat marks a third consecutive loss for Pep Guardiola’s City, following their EFL Cup loss to Tottenham and Premier League defeat to Bournemouth.
