MAN CITY face a trip to Marseille tonight as they look to make it two wins from two in the Champions League.

MARSEILLE 0-3 MAN CITY
90+2. Nearly over here in Marseille, three minutes of added time.
It's been a good night for City, though it was frustrating for long periods.
They've bagged the three points in the end, though.

Well, City have given up I suppose.

86. Payet and Gueye come on for Marseille, but it's a little too late now isn't it.
City just waiting for this game to end now really.

83. De Bruyne receives a pass from Mahrez.
And the Belgian cruises past a defender before squaring for Sterling to tap home.

MARSEILLE 0-2 MAN CITY
81. City bopping it around really freely now. Game is won, it's just a matter of seeing it out.
Marseille haven't really laid a glove on their opponents tonight.

MARSEILLE 0-2 MAN CITY
78. Well, it had been coming… again.
Foden picks the ball up down the left, crosses for Sterling at the back post. He heads it down and Gundogan taps it in.
Game. Put. To. Bed.
2-0.
John Stones comes on for Foden and Laporte goes off for John Stones. Bernardo Silva also comes on for Gundogan.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!
2-0 TO CITY! GUNDOGAN!

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
76. Ruben Dias now trying to probe in midfield, a second goal would really put this game to bed for the away side.
Darke jokes on commentary that it's been death by a 1000 passes for Marseille. He's not wrong there.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
74. Cancelo providing the trickery down the left and he wins a corner.
De Bruyne takes and passes straight back to Cancelo but takes it back and his cross is cleared.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
72. Sterling breaks forward and passes it to Gundogan in the middle but the German's shot is straight at Mandanda.
The ball is played forward for Sterling who finds a gap in the defence but the pass is too strong.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
70. Marseille still in the game here. No matter how well City are playing they're still playing it risky here with the marginal scoreline.
They really should go for this second goal now.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
67. Some danger for City as Marseille get forward with Sansom and Amavi but City clear.
Cancelo about to come on for Zinchenko.
Perhaps a different dimension down the left for City now.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
65. Rongier comes off while Morgan Sansom comes on for the home side.
Benedetto and Payet still on the bench for Marseille, too.
Foden tries to venture upfield for City but once again he's Dispossessed. Not been his best night.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
63. Sterling is fouled just before he arrives into the box and De Bruyne whips a ball in but Zinchenko completely miscues his volley and Marseille clear.
Good chance for the left-back, he was in plenty of space.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
61. Gundogan passes to De Bruyne, who plays on to Sterling but the England forward's effort is blocked and it goes out for a corner.
He was initially in an offside position, however, and Marseille win back possession.
Still 1-0.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
58. City doing much more of the same they did in the first half, unfortunately for me.
This is getting pretty tedious. Marseille still can't get out but Pep's side can't get their second goal.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
55. City look like they're really missing a striker, to be honest. With Aguero out for another month and Jesus out, this could be a common theme in games to come.
It's almost as if their players don't know when to arrive in the box when the likes of De Bruyne and Foden get forward.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
53. Foden gets to a ball on the left-hand side but his cross is cut out by Mandanda.
De Bruyne then tries to do the same from the right but the ball is a little bit behind Torres.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
51. City working their way back into this second half now. Sterling has combined nicely with De Bruyne on a couple of occasions and Foden looking sharp as ever.
Pep looking a little disappointed on the touchline with his side's lack of being able to cut through Marseille, though.

MARSEILLE 0-1 MAN CITY
48. Marseille look a better team this half, putting some pressure on Man City.
Cuisance has started rather well but De Bruyne comes away with the ball and passes out wide to Foden, who is tackled immediately.
