Manchester City did not put in a vintage performance against Borussia Dortmund in Germany, but ultimately they achieved what they set out to do.
Having already secured a place in the last 16 with a goalless draw in Copenhagen two weeks ago, a point was all City needed from the trip to Signal Iduna Park to clinch top spot in Champions League Group G. That's exactly what they got, although on the evidence of the first half another 0-0 draw seemed an extremely unlikely outcome.
While City, as usual, enjoyed the lion's share of possession, they struggled to create any clear scoring opportunities as Erling Haaland was closely marked by the hosts' back three.
