Champions League: Manchester City grab three points in Moscow
Sergio Aguero scored two goals as Manchester City fought back from 1-0 down to beat CSKA Moscow. Zoran Tosic, a former Manchester United player, put the home side ahead with a fine lob over Joe Hart but Aguero made it all square on a cross from David Silva. The Argentinian forward then settled the score by heading home Alvaro Negredo's cross. It was a tough match for City and goalkeeper Hart had to display a fine stop to deny Japan international Keisuke Honda an equaliser in stoppage time. City now have six points from three games, three more than the Russians. Aguero, Yaya Toure and Negredo all had chances early on but some shaky defending in the 32nd minute allowed Tosic to find the net with an exquisite lob after Honda won the ball in the air from Javi Garcia. Manchester City produced an instant reaction as Aguero beat Sergei Ignashevich to tap in Silva's low cross from close range. The comeback was complete three minutes before the break when Aguero bagged his ninth goal of the season, a header on a perfect cross from Negredo. The home side pushed forward after the break and substitute Ahmed Musa found the back of the net in the 80th minute with a terrific 20-yard strike but the goal was ruled out as Pontus Wernbloom fouled Toure. Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said after the match: "I'm very happy. The result is very important for the team. The whole team concentrated with intensity on a difficult pitch. Aguero and Silva are both top players and every match they show how they can play football. We are not in the next round but this is very important for us." Another tough match is coming up for City on Sunday as they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Mourinho's Chelsea.
