UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Man City eke out 2-2 draw at PSG, keeping hope alive with two away goals

ReutersPuzzled: Fernandinho looks dejected as Milorad Mazic points to the spot

It's all to play for in next week's second leg after Manchester City came from behind to draw in Paris.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne's opener before Adrien Rabiot put PSG ahead, only for Fernandinho to level and leave this Champions League quarter-final tie on a knife edge.

The home side were given a great chance to get their noses in front after 12 minutes when Bacary Sagna was adjudged to have tripped David Luiz in the box.

However, Joe Hart guessed the right way to keep out Ibrahimovic's penalty.

It was the visitors who eventually opened the scoring seven minutes before the break when Fernandino played in De Bruyne, who blasted the ball past Kevin Trapp.

But City's lead lasted just three minutes as Fernando's blunder on the edge of his own area gifted Ibrahimovic an equaliser.

PSG went 2-1 up just before the hour mark. Hart pushed away Edinson Cavani's header, but Rabiot was on hand to turn the ball into an empty net.

However, Fernandinho hauled City level on 72 minutes after the PSG defence failed to clear their lines as it ended all square.
