Monaco 2-2 Manchester City: Dier rescues draw from the penalty spot

Manchester City failed to continue their perfect start in the Champions League after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Monaco.

Erling Haaland scored either side of a brilliant strike from Jordan Teze before the break, but a 90th-minute penalty from Eric Dier saw the spoils shared in an end-to-end encounter at Stade Louis-II.

Haaland got his first after just 15 minutes, dinking the ball over Philipp Kohn with a deft touch, but Monaco equalised soon after as Teze stunned Gianluigi Donnarumma with a powerful effort into the top-left corner.

The visitors pushed to retake the lead before half-time, with Phil Foden striking the bar while Tijjani Reijnders was denied by Kohn, but Haaland eventually got his second when he headed home from Nico O’Reilly’s cross in the 44th minute.

It was an end-to-end start in the second half as both Folarin Balogun and Haaland failed to trouble the goalkeepers, while Foden and Reijnders saw their respective efforts blocked by Dier and Mohammed Salisu, respectively.

Reijnders continued to be a threat for City, crashing a left-footed effort against the bar, but Monaco found another leveller in the 90th minute as Dier, who was fouled by Nico Gonzalez in the box, sent Donnarumma the wrong way from the penalty spot.

It’s over: tied game against Manchester City.

Teze and Dier.
