Manchester City's Champions League woes continued tonight as a late penalty from CSKA Moscow playmaker Bribas Natcho forced them to settle for a 2 - 2 draw in their group stage encounter.

First half goals from Sergio Aguero and James Milner had helped City build a solid 2 - 0 lead in front of an empty stadium.

But CSKA managed to pull a goal back through Seydou Doumbia just after the hour mark.

And the coup-de-grace was delivered via a spot kick as Natcho fired past Joe Hart, following a collision in the box between Aleksandar Kolarov and Doumbia.

The result leaves City on two points and third place in their Champions League group with pace-setters Bayern Munich and Roma set to play tonight.
