Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart was gutted to miss out with a late header during their Europa League clash with Sporting Lisbon.

Hart thought he had scored an unbelievable winner for City when his injury-time header was pushed wide of the post.

"I can't believe it, I thought it was in," Hart told ESPN.

"It didn't need to get to that, but football is football. The fans were fantastic tonight and we didn't give them what they deserved in the first half.

"Hopefully we can take some positives out of the second half and move on for the rest of the season."
