MONACO:
Monaco salvaged a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester City with a last-gasp penalty by Eric Dier on Wednesday after the visitors failed to make the most of their domination in the second round of matches of the Champions League.

Dier buried a penalty in the 90th minute to cancel out Erling Haaland’s first-half double, after Jordan Teze’s early equaliser for the French side.

Pep Guardiola’s team, who had opened their campaign with a 2-0 win against Napoli, now have four points while Monaco are in the elimination zone on one point after their 4-1 defeat at Club Brugge in the first round of games.

City next travel to Villarreal on Oct 21 and Monaco will entertain Tottenham Hotspur the following day.
