Haaland bagged his 13th goal in all competitions for City as he came away smiling in the first reunion with his former side.
The result sees Pep Guardiola’s men sit top of their group after back-to-back victories.
The first half was a very timid affair with only one attempt on target between the two sides.
However, the game came alive after 56 minutes when Bellingham nodded home into an empty net from a Marco Reus cross.
The hosts responded well and Haaland hit the outside of the post from a tight angle just before the hour mark.
City equalised after 80 minutes and scored with the first shot on target as Stones’ long-range effort flew past Alexander Meyer.
Three minutes later, City were ahead when Joao Cancelo produced a stunning cross and Haaland’s found the back of the net with an acrobatic finish.
