Eric Dier`s late penalty handed Monaco a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday as an Erling Haaland double was not enough to give Pep Guardiola`s side the victory. The Norwegian striker netted twice in the first half for City either side of a Jordan Teze stunner, taking his tally for the season to 11 goals in eight games in all competitions. It looked as though the 2023 European champions would leave the principality with a second win in as many outings in this season`s league phase, but they were denied by a 90th-minute spot-kick. Nico Gonzalez was penalised for a high boot on Dier inside the area at a Monaco free-kick, with Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano eventually pointing to the spot after a long VAR check.

Dier stepped up to send Gianluigi Donnarumma the wrong way from the penalty, as Monaco claimed a first point in this season`s Champions League and City moved onto four points from two outings following their win against Napoli last time out. "That was a good game. We made some decisions, we created a lot of chances," Guardiola told broadcaster TNT Sports. "I don`t know if it was a penalty but it was given. So that`s that. "Nico touched the ball first, no intention. But it is what it is. We have a point and we will take it." Haaland reached a half-century of goals in Europe`s elite club competition when he scored in the 2-0 defeat of the Italian champions two weeks ago, and a double strike at the Stade Louis II leaves him on 52 from 50 career Champions League appearances. The Norwegian scored twice late on in last Saturday`s 5-1 Premier League defeat of Burnley, and he got the breakthrough quarter of an hour into this encounter. Josko Gvardiol lifted a ball over the top of the Monaco defence into the box, and Haaland escaped the attention of his marker before meeting the pass with a lob over home goalkeeper Philipp Koehn.
