Great game and a deserved point for Albion, who twice came from behind to extend our unbeaten run to seven - six wins and this draw. Albion will feel they had the better clear-cut chances to win it but a point at the Etihad is not to be sniffed at.

BALEBA BLAZES OVER, HE SHOULD SCORE!
That was the chance. Joao gets down the flank and then sends a low cross into the box. Baleba meets it 13 yards out and you think for all the world he's going to score, but he smashes it over. Nobody can quite believe he's missed by that much.

NICO HITS THE POST, HINSHELWOOD FIRES INTO THE SIDE NETTING
Nico nods onto Verbruggen's left post and then Albion counter. Mitoma gets down the left before Pedro sends it down the other side to Minteh. He plays a couple of passes with Hinshelwood before the academy graduate looks to sneak a shot in at Ortega's near post, but sends it into the side netting.

61'
Yellow Card
Doku goes into the book for diving. To be fair, it looks more like the winger is trying to get out the way of JP sliding in.
59'
GOMEZ DRAGS IT WIDE
There's a lovely interchange on the right between Georginio and Hinshelwood before the Frenchman passes to Gomez on the edge of the box. Diego tries to curl it past Ortega with the outside of his boot, but sends it well wide to the left of goal.
One of our own.
53'
HUGE CHANCE FOR MINTEH
Gomez gets down the left of the box and slides the ball along the edge of the six-yard box. It misses Gvardiol and Diaz, Minteh is seemingly gifted a tap in, but it goes through his legs and behind for a goal kick!

A brilliant strike from Marmoush as he leathers it into the bottom left corner from 20 yards.

Not entirely sure what's wrong there. Jack Hinshelwood's ball in from the right is excellent and Mitoma meets it at the back stick. Ortega initially saves it, but the ball hits Mitoma and it crosses the line. The referee appears to give handball against Albion, and VAR back up the decision.
