FT: Atalanta 1-1 Man City. The game ends in bizarre fashion, with Walker in the City goal, but it's a frustrating night for the visitors as they fail to secure qualification just yet and were left playing for a point at the end. They had been cruising, but Jesus' shocking penalty and Bravo's red card made the match far harder than it needed to be.
Aguero wins another corner. That may well be that.
City are keeping the ball away from Walker's goal very effectively.
De Bruyne is doing a pretty good job of that, but when Atalanta eventually win a throw-in it also comes with a booking for Silva.
Yellow card
B. Silva
City take a corner short and look to keep the ball there.
Walker gladly catches an aimless forward ball. Why won't Atalanta shoot from range?
Muriel, Atalanta's top scorer, is finally on.

T. Castagne
Mendy is booked for sarcastically applauding the referee. City need to keep their heads here.
Yellow card
B. Mendy
Seven added minutes!
Haha.
And he saves it! New boy Malinovskiy hits the free-kick low and Walker, and spilling the ball initially, gathers.
Finally Walker is on for Mahrez. His first task will be to face a free-kick.

R. Mahrez
There is a lot of waiting around right now. Walker still isn't on.
Malinovskiy comes on first.

The red card does indeed stand. It looks like Walker is coming on to play in the City goal.
RED CARD! With Bravo charging out of his goal, Ilicic gets to a through ball first, taps the ball past the sliding goalkeeper and then goes to ground! Bravo was miles off his line - we're going to VAR but I don't think that will help him.
Red card
C. Bravo
Djimsiti makes a vital interception to spot Aguero bursting into the box.
Castagne hardly touches Cancelo, but arrived a little late so is booked.
Yellow card
T. Castagne
From a short corner, De Bruyne overhits a cross-field pass and the ball goes straight out of play. It's turning into one of those nights.
Sterling is released down the left and carries the ball into the box, where several Atalanta players converge on him and block the ball behind.
