Gallery: City 1-2 Lyon

Manchester City's Champions League Group F campaign got off to a disappointing start at the Etihad on Wednesday as we slipped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Lyon.

The visitors scored twice in the first half through Maxwel Cornet and Nabil Fekir.

And though Bernardo Silva pulled a goal back for the Blues in the second half, we were unable to force an equaliser.

Here’s a selection of the best pictures from the game...
