ATALANTA 1 CITY 1
City remain unbeaten in the Champions League after a 1-1 draw with Atalanta, despite finishing the match with Kyle Walker in goal after substitute Claudio Bravo was sent off.
The Chilean, who replaced Ederson as an injury precaution at half-time, was dismissed for a foul on Josip Ilicic that saw Walker don the gloves for the final nine minutes in Italy.
Raheem Sterling continued his fine goal scoring run to give City an early lead at the San Siro, where Pep Guardiola‘s experienced contrasting halves.
We effortlessly dominated the first, but Gabriel Jesus missed a penalty to extend our lead and Atalanta emerged a different proposition after the break.
Mario Pasalic crashed a header past Bravo as City struggled to replicate our first half fluency, but, having been reduced to 10-men, the defending Premier League champions produced a professional display to see out the game with Walker largely untested.
