Manchester City were denied an away win and three desperately-needed points when CSKA Moscow forward Seydou Doumbia earned a late penalty with a theatrical dive.

With City leading 2-1 in the 85th minute, Doumbia went down a tad too easily as Aleksandar Kolarov attempted to intercept a cross into the visitors' box, leading referee Istvan Vad to point to the penalty spot to the dismay of Manuel Pellegrini's side.

Midfielder Bibras Natkho stepped up to take the ensuing penalty and had no trouble leveling the score at 2-2.

It looks to be another Champions League where City are watching the latter stage of the tournament from the discomfort of their own couches.
