45+1'

There will be only one added minute, despite two VAR breaks.

45'

That's woken up the crowd, as does Freuler and Jesus going head-to-head.

43'

Dreadful penalty! Jesus takes but makes a scuffed connection with the ball and sends it at least a yard wide!

42'

PENALTY! The referee goes over to the monitor and soon decides that will be a penalty. Ilicic booked.

Yellow card

41'

Sterling hits it straight into the wall, where it hits Ilicic on the arm. Off to VAR we go again...

40'

No spot-kick! The infringement begun outside the box, so it's a free-kick instead. Sterling fancies it nonetheless.

39'

PENALTY! Sterling is pulled back by Toloi as he looks to collect a through ball and a penalty is given! VAR will have a look though...

Yellow card

38'

More impressive numbers.

35'

Mahrez skips past a defender and into the box, from where he shoots low and left-footed, but Gollini makes a good save.

34'

Ederson has to be off his line in a flash to stop Gomez getting on the end of a through ball.

32'

A Sterling cross goes through the six-yard box but is just beyond the reach of Silva, who was guided out of the way by Palomino.

31'

Gundogan shoots over from just outside the box.

30'

De Bruyne makes a forward run and is played through, commits the goalkeeper and then cuts the ball back for Sterling, but Sterlig seems hesitant for a second and that allows Hateboer to make an excellent block.

29'

That isn't premature thinking, given how one-sided the game has been thus far.

27'

Djimsiti goes into the book for hauling down Mahrez.

Yellow card

25'

Atlanta lose the ball in their own half again and City work the ball to Mahrez, whose shot-cum-cross dribbles just wide and just out of reach of Sterling.

23'

Mendy almost puts Sterling through on goal, but STerling's touch lets him down. For a team offering little in attack, Atalanta seem to be getting outnumbered at the back too often.

22'

De Bruyne looks to pick out Mahrez at the top of the box from a corner, but the under-pressure Algerian elects to head forward instead of volleying, allowing Gollini to easily claim.

21'

City have the ball but aren't doing much with it at present, so let's go back to Sterling. He now has 17 goals in 20 games for club and country this season.

18'

A long ball runs straight through to Ederson. City very dominant so far, with Atalanta yet to have a spell of possession in the visitors' half.

15'

Freuler loses his footing just as Atalanta look close to building an attack.
