Manchester City came from behind to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 on Wednesday as both teams qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Having been on the back foot throughout the first half, PSG took the lead at the start of the second period when Lionel Messi's deflected cross was finished by Kylian Mbappe.

But the lead lasted little more than 10 minutes as City equalized through Raheem Sterling's poked shot from close range -- just reward for City, which had dominated possession for most of the match.

And with 15 minutes remaining, Gabriel Jesus grabbed the winner for the home side after he was teed up by Bernardo Silva inside the PSG box.

RB Leipzig's 5-0 win against Club Brugge in the group's other game means that both PSG and City go through to the knockout stages.
