The victory in their league-phase finale secured Pep Guardiola's men a spot in the two-legged play-off knockout round.

Second-half goals from Mateo Kovacic and substitute Savinho - both set up by John Stones - and an own goal from Brugge's Joel Ordonez, were enough to get the job done.

Brugge stunned the Etihad Stadium crowd seconds before half-time when Ferran Jutgla beat Matheus Nunes before sending in a long cross that Raphael Onyedika smashed into the back of the net.

Kovacic levelled in the 53rd minute when he dribbled through the heart of Brugge's defence before unleashing a shot from the edge of the 18-yard box into the bottom corner.

City went ahead nine minutes later when Ordonez slid to block Josko Gvardiol's cross but knocked it into his own net.

Savinho added a third in the 77th minute to seal victory when Stones played a pinpoint cross-field ball that the Brazilian chested down before firing it past keeper Simon Mignolet.
