Kyle Walker Forced Into Goal for Manchester City

MILAN (AP) – Atalanta picked up its first Champions League point as it held 10-man Manchester City to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday - but couldn't capitalize on the visitors having to finish the match with defender Kyle Walker in goal.

The Italian side looked headed for a fourth straight loss in Group C when Raheem Sterling - who scored a hat trick in Man City's 5-1 win in the reverse fixture - put the Premier League champion in front in the seventh minute.

However, Gabriel Jesus dragged a penalty wide three minutes before halftime and Mario Pasalic leveled for Atalanta four minutes into the second half.
