Man City v Sporting CP - as it happened

FT: Man City 0-0 Sporting (agg 5-0)!! All over at the Etihad and there were no goals in this one. The hosts were the much better team and could've easily scored. Jesus had the ball in the net in the second half, but the VAR spotted an offside in the build up. Sporting posed little threat going forward, but they didn't lose tonight and return to Portugal with their heads held high. Thanks for joining us tonight and see you again soon!

Man City HT double sub: Mahrez on for B Silva and McAtee on for Foden

HT: Man City 0-0 Sporting (agg 5-0)!! Half-time at the Etihad and the hosts have been the better team in a game with few chances. Phil Foden forced one fine save out of Adan to his right and Sterling nearly chipped the GK, but otherwise little has happened. Sporting have offered little going forward and 0-0 is fair. Back shortly!

Man City are flagged offside.

Laporte is caught in the face by Paulinho and the Sporting man sees yellow.

Man C get themselves a corner as Porro heads the ball out of play.

That was very much a ref's call situation, but Ugarte took a chance.
