Manchester City's 2-1 home defeat to Basel in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night was their first defeat on home soil since December 2016, bringing an end to a 36-game unbeaten run.

A much changed Man City side sailed into the Champions League quarter final with an aggregate score of 5-2, thanks to a 4-0 first leg win at St. Jakob-Park last month.

The game started well for Man City when Gabriel Jesus put the hosts one up with just eight minutes on the clock, but the visitors levelled via a Mohamed Elyounoussi strike.
