Aguero nods Man City into Champions League knockouts at Lyon

Sergio Aguero struck to send Manchester City into the Champions League knockouts at Lyon.

City reached the Champions League last 16 as Aguero rescued a draw in Lyon which means topping Group F remains in their own hands.

Lyon wasted several chances before Maxwel Cornet rifled in an angled drive to give them an early second-half lead.

Aymeric Laporte steered in Raheem Sterling's free-kick seven minutes but Cornet fired in again to put Lyon top.

However, Aguero reacted quickest to flick in a header two minutes later to earn City what could be a vital point.

City remain top of Group F on 10 points - three clear of Lyon - meaning a draw in their final game against Hoffenheim will be enough to progress as group winners.
