Phil Foden struck an important injury-time goal to put Manchester City in control of their Champions League last-16 tie with a 3-1 victory over Copenhagen.
City extended their unbeaten run in Europe to 21 matches and will return to the Etihad on March 6 for the second leg, in between crucial Premier League fixtures against Manchester United and Liverpool, both live on Sky Sports, to continue their title defence. Kevin De Bruyne struck the opener after just 10 minutes amid a dominant start which should have seen them further ahead before Jack Grealish went off injured and an Ederson mistake allowed Copenhagen's Magnus Mattsson to equalise.
Guardiola: Today was perfect - I'm proudManchester City boss Pep Guardiola speaking to TNT Sports: 'Really, really good, so proud. It was important. Today was perfect. They were patient in the right moments. Really good. I'm really proud of the team. The third goal helped us a lot. Hopefully, we can finish it off at home and go to the next game. 'It was important to not lose the tie here. The game was really well played from the first minute.
