Manchester City had two sent off as they earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Youth League.

A feisty and entertaining clash, which saw two City men sent off in 12 second-half minutes, required Brian Barry-Murphy's side to dig deep at the Stade Georges-Lefèvre to come away with a precious result.

Shea Charles' curling strike on the half-hour mark had given the visitors the lead but Xavi Simons' second-half penalty cancelled out the opener with Finley Burns sent off for the challenge.

Charles was then shown a second yellow card with 12 minutes remaining and the away side battled in a backs-to-the-wall performance to maintain our place atop Group A on goal difference.
