Manchester City crashed out of the last 16 of the Europa League to Dynamo Kiev last night.


Roberto Mancini's City side beat the Ukrainian club 1-0 at home but bowed out 2-1 on aggregate. The home side were cut to 10 men in the 37th minute after Italian Mario Balotelli was shown a straight red for a dreadful, high one-footed lunge at Goran Popov. But Man City rebounded immediately through Aleksandar Kolarov's goal from an indirect free-kick through a congested area.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are locked with Braga 0-0 at half-time andu00a0 are trying to overturn a 1-0 first leg defeat.
