Sevilla left us short at the back - Man City keeper Hart

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has spoken of the risks that his side took in order to beat Sevilla in their Champions League match on Wednesday.


City fell a goal behind when Yevhen Konoplyanka opened the scoring for Sevilla but a Wilfred Bony equaliser, which deflected off Adil Rami, and a last-minute strike from Kevin De Bruyne captured an important three points for City.

Speaking after the game, Hart described how his team went gung-ho in an attempt to win the contest which left them exposed at the back on several occasions.

Hart said: "We are an attacking team and we will leave ourselves short at the back sometimes. They are a great team and they made it hard for us."

Hart made several important saves and was praised by pundits and experts alike for his solid performance.
