Manchester City has kept up the pressure on German giants Bayern Munich at their top of Champions League Group D with a 4-2 victory over Czech side Viktoria Plzen at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Leaders Bayern (15 points), who beat CSKA Moscow 3-1 earlier, and second-placed City (12) had already clinched their places in the last 16.
According to Sport24, although City dominated early in the game and took the lead on 33 minutes when Sergio Aguero converted a penalty, Plzen's Tomas Horava levelled 10 minutes past goalkeeper Joe Hart and into the top corner.
However, the hosts again gained control of the game in the second half and led again on 65 minutes with a goal from Samir Nasri, and although they had to concede an equaliser from Stanislav Teclfour a few minutes later, City substitute Alvaro Negredo scored on 78 minutes and Edin Dzeko's header completed the scoring a minute from time.
