Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given is relieved after scraping through to the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

Despite holding a two-goal advantage with five minutes remaining, City managed to let Aalborg back in the game but eventually held the Danes off in a penalty shoot-out.

Given was the hero for City but said he was just relieved to have gotten through.

"It is relief. It should have been dead and buried - we did it the hard way," the goalkeeper told Five.

"We could have made it easier for ourselves but thankfully we came out on top.

"Sometimes it is the luck of the draw - happily I saved a couple.

"We didn't play at our best but we are still in the draw tomorrow.
