FT

FULL-TIME

We had two minutes of injury time but it's all over. A fantastic night for City. The scoreline perhaps doesn't reflect our dominance but a 4-0 win away in Europe is a fabulous result. Join Nedum Onuoha and Shaun Wright-Phillips to look back at a great win.

89'

TO THE END

Kyle Walker with a low drive is kept out before Doku wins a corner. The City fans are in good volume and so too are the home fans despite the scoreline. It comes to nothing but City retain possession and McAtee is wide with a header.

88'

NOT TONIGHT

Stones wins the header from Gundogan's corner again. This time Takic palms it around the post and Slovan survive the next deadball cross. 

86'

ALMOST FIVE

Ilkay Gundogan goes close to getting the fifth as he breaks into the box and shoots at goal but Takic makes an excellent save to knock it around the post. 

85'

DAVID CLAYTON IN SLOVAKIA

We’re still on track to equal our best away Champions League win if we get one more. Great for James McAtee to get his first goal for the Club – he enjoyed that one and so did his team-mates.

84'

OLD BLUE

Another former City Academy player comes on as Robbie Mak replaces Barseghyan for Slovan. 

82'

HEADS UP

John Stones is disappointed he hasn't scored after winning a header from a corner. He's just over the bar and wanted to get on the scoresheet there. 

80'

IN THE MIDDLE

Jack Grealish has gone into Phil Foden's central position in midfield. The wingers have stayed the same and Doku pulls it back to the England man but it's difficult to control. 

77'

FRESH LEGS

Two more changes for City as Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish replace Josko Gvardiol and Phil Foden.
