Sporting vs Man City LIVE: Champions League result and final score after stunning Raheem Sterling goal

Bernardo Silva is having a cracking season and he’s extending it in Portugal.

Two goals so far for the ex-Benfica man with the first of the pair showing his exquisite technique.

He hasn’t only been great in front of goal but he has also shown his leadership. Laporte could have received a yellow but Silva calmed him down to avoid any punishment.

But it’s his goals which will be remembered, have a look at this cracker:

A stadium rife with noise just over 45 minutes ago has been stunned into silence by a dominant City performance.

Mahrez and Silva’s early openers weren’t enough to quell the threat from Sporting. But City weathered the short storm form the hosts and capitalised through Foden and again with Silva.

If Sporting aren’t careful this scoreline could get embarrassing. They need a tighter backline, better communication and clarity in their last attacking touch to keep themselves in this.

One thing is for sure, City are hungry for more.

Oh my god, they’ve scored again!

Just as I was criticising Cancelo he does something amazing. He was searching for Sterling with a chip over the top and the star crossed the ball to Silva.

He tapped it home and Adan should’ve done better to stop it.

Three minutes injury time.

Foden is hungry for goals this evening. First he had a hand in the first score, he then scored himself and he just ran a beautiful line but Adan was there to collect the ball.

City then won a free kick as Sarabia fouled Stones but they had to build their attack from their own half.

But they didn’t get far as Cancelo gave away a free kick for Sporting. The City star has had a few mistakes this evening, losing possession a couple of times.

They say shoot for the stars but I don’t think they mean that literally Porro...

The player had the ball in the midfield and took a shot with the attempt going miles over the bar.

You do have to feel for Sporting, they still looked bright after the first two goals but it seems the third has signed away their gusto.

City continue to battle for their fourth.

When City smell blood they don’t stop the suffering they pile on the pressure. They may be 3-0 up but since Foden’s goal they’ve had two shots on target from Sterling and De Bruyne.

The England star’s punt has been a real momentum decider with Sporting easily giving up possession. The stadium which was deafening just five minutes ago is now a silent saloon.

A short break in play as Foden goes down from a challenge.

That was too easy for Foden.

Mahrez did some great work on the rught hand side to work his way round Sporting’s defence. His hard work saw a pass come in for Foden with only one player and the keeper to beat.

A simple tap in see City 3-0 up and that’s the game done inside 35 minutes.

Laporte has had a talking to from the referee for a challenge on Paulinho. It looked as though the officials were going to hand him a yellow with Laporte stomping away from officials. But Silva made sure his teammate went and spoke to the ref to limit the damage and no card was shown.

This match has felt breathless so far with no respite. City have managed to retain the ball more in recent minutes to quell the Sporting threat but despite the scoreboard it doesn’t feel like the game is done.

The nerves among the City side are being highlighted by Guardiola’s constant orders being shouted onto the pitch.

Guardiola isn’t allowing City to slip here, yelling his orders from the touchline as Sporting look to get a foot into this match.

The last few minutes have seen a few errors from City but none big enough to cancel out their goals.

Stones had to come to the rescue as Sarabia looked to shoot. The defender tapped the ball out of range of Sarabia to Ederson. The keeper did well to read the play.

Sporting still in attack and they aren’t allowing the early goals to throw them off.

Porro had three attempts at goal with the ball continually rebounding back into his path but he can’t quite get the shot away.

And how oh how has Gonçalves not scored? Rodri had a howler of a pass which opened an opportunity up for Sporting’s star man but he took too long to get the shot away. Cancelo did well to close him down.

They are throwing everything at City at the moment.
