Manchester City conceded late and were held to a draw by Paris St-Germain as their wait for a win in the Women's Champions League this season continues.

Tara Elimbi Gilbert slotted the ball past goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita in the 88th minute, shortly after Khadija Shaw had given City the lead from the penalty spot.

It had been an uneventful match until Shaw was brought down in the box by Griedge Mbock Bathy and put away the spot kick.

That sparked an immediate response from the visitors, who went up the other end and carved open City's defence to equalise.

Jamaican international Shaw had squandered chances earlier on, including a header that dropped wide and a strike that was tipped behind for a corner in the second half.

The visitors had offered little going forward until Gilbert's equaliser but frustrated City for large spells.

The result means Andree Jeglertz's side remain unbeaten in all competitions this season but City have drawn all three of their European matches.

They still have Inter Milan, BK Hacken and Austria Wien to play in the league phase but City will be considered favourites and remain in a good position to qualify for the knockout stages.

Analysis: Underwhelming but City remain unbeaten

Manchester City have not blown away any opposition on their return to the Champions League and came into this match with two points from their opening two games.

They have faced their toughest league phase opponents early on though and will be pleased to remain unbeaten, albeit with work to do to ensure they progress to the knockout stages.

It was largely a quiet affair on Thursday night with neither team settling into their stride or able to sustain periods of control.

City had the better of the chances in the first half as Shaw came close when she struck wide from just outside the box and a few set-pieces were headed off target.

But it was a relief for supporters watching in the cold at the Joie Stadium when the half-time whistle went and a forgettable 45 minutes came to an end.

The game needed a spark and there were opportunities in the second half as Paris St-Germain captain Sakina Karchaoui whipped a dangerous free-kick inches over the bar, before Shaw had a decent effort tipped behind by goalkeeper Oliwia Peda and she then headed wide from a cross.

It was a showdown that underwhelmed but suddenly burst to life in the final 10 minutes as Shaw's penalty seemed to give City the victory they had been waiting for until it was quickly cancelled out by Gilbert's clinical break.

Jeglertz's side have work to do as a result to ensure they book a place in the knockout stages but they have played their strongest opponents and have showed enough to suggest they will be fine.

“We were drawn against six teams and we've played the three toughest of them, I think,” said Jeglertz.

“Now, we have three games that we have the opportunity, again, to get the points we need to qualify for the next round. That’s our goal. Nothing has changed.” (BBC)
