THE NOTEBOOK: RB Leipzig say thanks to Man United flop Ralf Rangnick and Josko Gvardiol's leap for the equaliser was extraordinary... but Erling Haaland was surplus to requirements in dominant first-half for Man City

RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol headed in a 70th-minute goal to earn a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in their Champions League last-16 first leg on Wednesday night.

The 21-year-old defender bagged the deserved equaliser with a towering header after City's Riyad Mahrez had slotted in following a Leipzig mistake in the 27th minute.

Leipzig were toothless in the first half but were much improved after the break and outplayed their opponents, who are aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for a sixth straight season.

City have now drawn their last two games after being held 1-1 by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday while Leipzig's four-game winning run in the competition came to an end.
