Manchester City battled to draw with Atalanta in the Champions League after defender Kyle Walker had to go in goal for the closing stages of the match.

The full-back replaced Claudio Bravo after the substitute goalkeeper was sent off during the 1-1 draw in Milan.

Bravo was shown a straight red for a sliding tackle on Josip Ilicic outside the box, having replaced first-choice keeper Ederson at half-time.

Raheem Sterling had given the Blues a 1-0 lead in the first half before Chelsea loannee Mario Pasalic equalised four minutes after the restart.

City striker Gabriel Jesus also missed a penalty in the first half in a bizarre game at the San Siro.
