Half-time: Manchester City 0-2 Lyon An awful half draws to a close for City, who have been made to pay for their sloppiness. Lyon leads thanks to goals from Maxwel Cornet and Nabil Fekir, leaving City with an uphill task. The problem for the hosts is that a seething Pep Guardiola can’t get into them during the break. See you in 15 minutes.
City makes problems for themselves again, losing the ball near their own area, Fernandinho the culprit this time. Fekir picks the Brazilian’s pocket and then he makes towards the City area after the ball’s played to him.
He runs at City’s backtracking defence and then he lets fly with a vicious drive which skims through Stones’s legs and past the statuesque Ederson!
City are a mess at the back. A cross from the right is just flicked away from Depay, but it falls to Aouar, who tries to curl a cross towards the far post. Walker turns his back and deflects the shot away from goal with an outstretched arm. It should be a penalty, but the referee doesn’t see it. The ball falls to Pape Cheukh Diop, who can’t make the most of two efforts from the edge of the area. Hope second half they will come back much better.
