Pep Guardiola's winning streak with Manchester City came to a halt after they settled with a 3-3 draw against Celtic in their Champions League Group C clash at the Celtic Park on Thursday.

Celtic made the breakthrough via striker Moussa Dembele, who diverted in Erik Sviatchenko's header in the third minute of the match to put his side ahead.

Midfielder Luis Fernandinho soon levelled the score for City in the 11th minute before Raheem Sterling struck a goal in his own net to hand Celtic with the lead again just nine minutes later, the Guardian reported.

Sterling, however, made the amends soon by pulling one back for the visitors in the 28th minute.

The second-half saw City striker Manuel Agudo Nolito cancel out Dembele's 47th-minute goal to avoid suffering a defeat.

Although City tried their best to score another goal in order to seal victory, they failed in their efforts as Celtic managed to hold them to a frustrating draw and gain one point.

City will now lock horns with group leaders Barcelona, who registered a 2-1 win over Monchengladbach at Borussia-Park.
