Michael Lang scored Basel's second goal of the game, taking them 1-2 up over Manchester City in their Champions League round of 16 tie.

Lang's goal stunned the Ethiad, which has been a fortress so far this season. His 71st minute goal took the visitors 1-2 up. 

The goal came as a result of some excellent work down the left from Mohamed Elyounoussi, who took on Yaya Toure, holding up the ball cleverly near the byline. 

He then slid a ball in for Lang, who buried the chance, beating Claudio Bravo at his near post. That being said, the visitors remained 5-2 down on aggregate, so there was no real hope of a comeback late in the game.
