Man City vs Sporting highlights and reaction as Gabriel Jesus strike disallowed and Scott Carson comes on

Manchester City safely negotiated their Champions League last-16 second leg against Sporting tonight thanks to a goalless draw at the Etihad.

City were rampant in Lisbon three weeks ago to record a 5-0 lead ahead of tonight's second leg at the Etihad. The lead proved useful given the defensive issues Pep Guardiola suddenly has, with four key men ruled out.

Kyle Walker served the second game of a three-match suspension, while Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake remain injured. Joao Cancelo is ill so won't feature. That leaves Aleks Zinchenko, Aymeric Laporte and John Stones as City's only available senior defenders.

Guardiola started under-23 captain CJ Egan-Riley at right-back, while James McAtee and Luke Mbete were introduced in the second half, as was third-choice goalkeeper Scott Carson. In terms of match action, Gabriel Jesus' disallowed effort just after the break was the closest either side had to scoring as both seemed comfortable to sit back.

"CJ played really good, didn't miss one ball. He's a seven, nothing exceptional in everything but that's a good sign in a defender, doesn't make mistakes. Scott Carson could play, we thought about that if
