Match Report

Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling scored late goals as 10-man Manchester City stunned Schalke at Veltins Arena to claim a 3-2 first-leg win in their Champions League last-16 tie.

Despite leading through Sergio Aguero's 18th-minute effort, City was behind at the break after Nabil Bentaleb scored a pair of spot-kicks.

The first of those, awarded after a lengthy period of deliberation and confusion, was given for a handball against Nicolas Otamendi, who was booked for that transgression and then picked up a second yellow card with 22 minutes remaining.

Pep Guardiola appeared content to settle for just a one-goal deficit at that point, yet substitute Sane had other ideas, brilliantly firing in an 85th-minute free-kick to equalise against his former club, and Sterling then latched on to Ederson's long clearance to score a 90th-minute winner on a wild night in Gelsenkirchen.

Goals/ Highlights! 

WOW! City take the lead! It's all very easy! A long ball from Ederson and Raheem Sterling does the rest! Amazingly City go 3-2 up! 

Goal! What a strike! Leroy Sane smashes a free-kick into the top corner and the ten men of City make it 2-2! 

Uhoh! Otamendi picks up a second yellow, and City are reduced to ten men! 

Goal! No need for VAR this time as Fernandinho tugs down Salif Sané! Bentaleb steps up  and smashes the ball into the top corner! Schalke take the lead! Scenes! 

Goal! After some fussing around with VAR, it's judged that Otomendi has handled the ball! Penalty! Nabil Bentaleb steps up and smashes the ball into the right corner! 1-1! Game on! 

Goal! Sergio Aguero slots away from close range, after checking for a foul in the build-up, the goal is allowed thanks to VAR! 

Chance! Sergio Aguero goes close with a glancing header!

We are primed and ready to go!

Team news from Matt Critchley... Fernandinho seems to be slotting in at centre back! Whilst No Leroy Sane in the starting lineup!

Interesting team news from #ManCity - it looks like Fernandinho is switching between midfield and defence again!https://t.co/TIHeIeAG9g#beINUCL #UCL #S04vCITY 📺 HD11 pic.twitter.com/v6iMUFHl65 — beIN SPORTS (@beINSPORTS) February 20, 2019
