"They look dead on their feet City.
"It really is a lacklustre performance and nobody is out their sprinting, making any runs."
Beaten City end up with nine men

"They look dead on their feet City.
"It really is a lacklustre performance and nobody is out their sprinting, making any runs."
Brilliant from Oscar, what a touch and pass on the edge of the box - he feeds it into the run of Eden Hazard, who looks nailed on to score, but he can't get his shot off the ground and it's saved!
Callum Mackenzie:, external Our midfielders are scared of playing a forward pass. Aguero the player who tries to do something with the ball
Holes appearing in the City backline now, as they try to balance the need to push on and salvage the game with defending with a man down.
Sixteen minutes left...
Chelsea had been dominant for 15 minutes or so, should have had a penalty, and are now level. Can they go on and win this?
Four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and now on the brink of a fourth win out of four Champions League group games as Mario Gotze puts Bayern Munich 2-0 up at home to Roma. Utterly ruthless.
Meanwhile, Ajax's night just got a lot worse after Joel Veltman was sent off for a second bookable offence. They will play the closing stages against Barcelona, who lead 1-0, with 10 men.
It had been coming, and Chelsea are now deservedly level! John Terry heads down a corner, the header may have been sneaking in anyway, but Nemanja Matic makes sure, poking in on the line.

"I'm not sure I remember seeing the first yellow card, but the computer in front of me says Fernandinho got the first yellow on 62 minutes.
"So that was two bookings in the space of eight minutes."
City's day goes from bad to worse! They will have to complete this comeback with 10 men as midfielder Fernandinho is dismissed for a second yellow card, for obstruction on the edge of the box. To be honest he couldn't really get out of the way...
Chelsea are furious! Ramires puts in a low cross, Chelsea have so many men in the box, Oscar takes a touch and goes to ground under a challenge from Arghus. He's insistent - but nothing doing...

Good instructions from Pellegrino to sub, Dzeko. "Please score, Edin. Please!
Didier Drogba scored a brilliant header from a corner in the 2012 Champions League final. He can't do it again here, mistiming his jump and putting the ball over with his shoulder.
All Chelsea now.
City have only once scored two or more goals in the final 25 minutes of a Champions League match.
That's their task now...
Diego Costa shovels another shot over the top. Chelsea are looking to play with more urgency now but this could be a very damaging defeat. Shalke away next up - a reunion with a certain Mr. Di Matteo...
Edin Dzeko is on. He replaces Fernando. Go big!
Martin Ratcliff:, external So City in their fourth attempt still can't get as far as Spurs did in their one try (quarters). Pathetic given their squad.
Tom in North Wales: Yaya Toure's always had a lazy style, but tonight he's got a lazy brain.
Temperatures are rising in Amsterdam where Ajax still trail Barcelona 1-0. Barca's goal? A Lionel Messi header. The Argentine has scored 70 Champions League goals - but only four with his head. Elsewhere, Shakhtar are now 3-0 up at home to BATE Borisov.
That's better from City - James Milner breaks in to the corner of the penalty area, he hits the shot low and hard - and early - but Igor Akinfeev snakes out an ankle to kick the ball to safety.
That's kicked the crowd into life. City have 27 minutes to turn this one around.
If Maribor don't win tonight, Luka Zahovic will kick himself. He may have some team-mates queuing up to have a dig too.
