Captain Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, and Nico O’Reilly held sway in the midfield.
Struggling Erling Haaland kept his place up top with Phil Foden, and Rayan Cherki tasked with providing him the ammunition to score.
However, The Norwegian forward continued his dry spell in front of goal with another disappointing performance, taking his tally to seven matches without a goal.
Kasper Høgh opened the scoring for the visitors in the 22nd minute before completing his brace two minutes later to stun the visitors.
Jens Petter Hauge made it 3-0 in the second half as Man City struggled to contain the hosts.
Cherki reduced the deficit in the 60th minute to make it 3-1.
Rodri was sent off for two bookable offences in two minutes to complete a miserable night for Man City.

The defeat leaves Man City in fourth with 13 points from seven matches ahead of their next match against Galatasaray next Wednesday.
