Former Manchester City players Shaun Wright-Phillips and Nedum Onuoha praised the Blues' team spirit and work ethic after City battled to a 0-0 draw with FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday.

City brushed the same opponents aside 5-0 six days before at the Etihad Stadium, but Tuesday's meeting at the famous Parken stadium was a very different game.

VAR controversy dominated the evening, with Rodri having a wonder-goal incorrectly ruled out for handball before Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty awarded for another soft handball.

Sergio Gomez was rightly sent off on the half-an-hour mark following a VAR review, meaning City had to battle for an hour with 10 men.
