Maxwel Cornet's brace helps Lyon hold Manchester City

Maxwel Cornet found the back of the net twice as Lyon held Manchester City a 2-2 draw in Tuesday's Uefa Champions League tie.

The 22-year-old who lamented his lack of playing time this season was on target as the Ligue 1 side defeated Pep Guardiola's men at the Etihad Stadium back in September.

After a goalless first half, Cornet broke the deadlock courtesy of an assist from Memphis Depay in the 55th minute but Aymeric Laporte's effort put visitors back on leveled terms seven minutes later.

At the closing stages of the end of the encounter, the Cote d'Ivoire international doubled his tally in the 81st minute but was short-lived as Riyad Mahrez set Sergio Aguero up for the equaliser two minutes later.
