CSKA Moscow 2 Manchester City 2, The Sky Blues threw away a two goal lead in Moscow as their atrocious run of form in the Champions League continued, to leave them staring down the barrel of a group-stage exit for the third time in four years.

City are still searching for their first win in Group E, having lost away to Bayern Munich and drawn at home to Roma. It was never going to be easy to take maximum points in Russia, but it was vital that they did, so City will be furious that after taking an early lead they allowed their hosts back into the game in the second half.
