A late David Silva goal gave Manchester City a 2-1 victory at Hoffenheim on Tuesday as Pep Guardiola-s side got their Champions League campaign back on track in Germany. After suffering a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Lyon a fortnight ago, the Premier League champions badly needed the three points to move off the bottom of Group F.

Silva poached the winner with just three minutes left when he reacted quickest to nick the ball off Hoffenheim defender Stefan Posch on the penalty spot and fire home. Hoffenheim had taken the lead in the first minute through Ishak Belfodil, but Sergio Aguero quickly equalised before Silva-s late strike. "We-ve got to take all the positives out of this performance with the way we attacked and defended with a high line," City captain Vincent Kompany told BT Sport.
