GOAL! MAN CITY 3-1 PORTO (Torres, 73)

The two subs combine. Quality goal this.

Torres finds Foden in midfield and looks for the return. As ever, Foden finds him with a crisp pass straight into his path inside the box. Pepe comes out to meet him but the striker shifts it away from him before firing a potent finish into the top corner. Very Aguero-like that was. A good sign for the future....

After an underwhelming 65 minutes, City are flexing their muscles now.

 

[Colin Is The King]

Another change for Porto.

The F word
Early days of course but I really do like the look of Ferran Torres.
Pace, trickery, a decent shot and youthful confidence.
Looks a really exciting prospect

 

[Colin Is The King]

I wonder if Pep would be tempted to bring Fernie on?

Nearly a fourth after a sweeping City attack with Sterling beating the Porto defence and trying to find Foden.
Porto look as though the spirit has finally been crushed out of them

 

[Colin Is The King]

Sterling tees up Mahrez, but the keeper is out to block it for a corner.

go get em while they are disarray

 

[Colin Is The King]

Fernie is getting ready to come on, according to BT, and then a Rodri shot is pushed onto the post by keeper.

Pepe mixing it.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

As Alistair Mann says if you have come to defend it is very difficult to then change to an attacking team

Save..
Should have been four.

Pressure from Torres wins the ball back, City swpep forward and Sterling sets up Mahrez but Porto keeper Marchesin makes a superb block to deny Riyad.

 

[Skoorb]

VAR should deal with Pepe. But they won't

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Rodri for Ferna

 

[Colin Is The King]

Rodri off for Fernie. It's getting tasty on the touchline between the two coaches.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

VAR should deal with Pepe. But they won't

just a thug and the rumour was we were once in for him

Hit the post...
Wow. Rodri smacks in a shot from more than 30 yards which canons back off the post from a touch by the keeper.
He packs a real punch does our Spaniard.
All that followed a spat between Pepe and Sterling.

Olympiakos take the lead against Marseilles

Where there's a will...
Blimey, this has been a busy old night. You haven't been able to take your eyes off it for a second.
We may not have been at our flowing best all night but it looks like we have found a way to get the job done.
That's the hallmark of the very best teams.
