OVER!
Stones has been solid at the back for City and he squanders the chance to cap his performance with a goal as he heads over from Gundogan's corner delivery.

Porro has played well and probably done enough to impress Pep Guardiola. He now makes way for Richard Esgalo.

GREAT SAVE BY CARSON!
The 36-year-old races off his line to deny Paulinho who was through on goal!
What a moment for the veteran goalkeeper, although he may have hurt himself in the process.

SPORTING APPLY PRESSURE
With Slimani well positioned to convert from a cross, Laporte climbs highest to deal with the danger.
Sporting are enjoying their best spell of the game.

NO PENALTY!
The travelling away supporters appeal strongly for a handball against Laporte inside the box but the referee is unmoved.
67'
CHANCE!
Fernandinho picks out another excellent pass, threading through Mahrez down the right. He rolls a dangerous pass across the face of goal but Coates is there to put it behind for a corner.
