Manchester City's would-be second goal - scored by Nathan Ake - was disallowed after VAR adjudged the Dutch defender to have handled the ball before netting.
City got off to the best possible start against Sparta Prague in the Champions League when England's Phil Foden managed to squeeze a shot underneath the visiting goalkeeper to open the scoring inside three minutes.
Despite the quick start, the Blues then, for a while, struggled to increase the advantage leading to Pep Guardiola cutting a frustrated figure on the side-lines.
Shortly after the second half began, Ake thought he had doubled their advantage when he squeezed the ball in from close range.
