Baumann admitted it was a penalty - Manchester City's Sane

Leroy Sane has claimed Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann admitted a penalty should have been awarded to Manchester City in their 2-1 victory over the Bundesliga club in Tuesday's Champions League clash.

City claimed their first Champions League victory of the season on Tuesday thanks to David Silva's late winner, which came after Sergio Aguero had cancelled out a first-minute opener from Ishak Belfodil.

However, prior to Silva's 87th-minute strike, the Premier League champions looked to be denied a clear second-half penalty when Sane went down in the box under a challenge from goalkeeper Baumann.
