Leroy Sane scores twice as Man City defeat Hoffenheim

Manchester City ace Leroy Sane struck twice for victory over Champions League opponents Hoffenheim.

City created most of the several clear-cut chances in an entertaining encounter, but they only came to life after Hoffenheim took the lead through Andrej Kramaric's 16th-minute penalty.

The equaliser came when Sane fired in a fierce 25-yard free-kick in first-half stoppage time. His second of the game - and eighth of the season - came just after the hour mark when he finished off a swift counter-attack.

City are the only one of the four qualified English teams to win their group, and as a result can only draw one of four teams in the last 16 - Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Roma or Ajax.
