Manchester City were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Monaco at the Stade Louis II as Eric Deer’s late penalty denied Pep Guardiola’s men a second successive Champions League win.

Premier League rivals Arsenal and Newcastle United were both victorious on Wednesday, and City looked to be on course to avenge their 2017 last-16 exit at the hands of Monaco until a late twist in the tale.

Erling Haaland put City ahead in the 15th minute when he latched onto Josko Gvardiol’s clever ball forward and lifted over Philipp Kohn.

Jordan Eze’s stunning strike from just outside the area levelled matters for Monaco, yet City continued to dominate in the opening period.

Phil Foden hit the crossbar before being denied by a fine reflex save from Kohn, who produced more heroics to thwart Tijjani Reijnders before Haaland’s brilliant header into the bottom-left corner restored City’s lead.

The woodwork prevented City from stretching their lead in the second half as Reijnders smacked the crossbar, and the visitors’ inability to make the most of those chances was punished in controversial fashion, Monaco awarded a spot-kick following a VAR review after Nico Gonzalez’s boot caught Dier in the face as they defended a free-kick.

Fractious scenes as the referee consulted the pitchside monitor saw red cards shown to both benches, but Dier kept his composure to slot home and force City to settle for a share of the spoils.

Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Athletic Bilbao

Dortmund have now scored in successive Champions League games, but they made sure this one ended in victory.

Quarter-finalists last season, Dortmund suffered a remarkable collapse in matchday one as they drew 4-4 with Juventus. Yet they made no mistake this time around in dispatching Athletic.

Daniel Svensson turned home at the far post in the 28th minute to give Dortmund the lead, before Carney Chukwuemeka’s first European goal made it 2-0.

Gorka Guruzeta pulled one back 11 minutes later, but Serhou Guirassy and Julian Brandt made the points safe for Dortmund.

The result was the worst of a tough night for Spanish sides, with Barcelona losing 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain and Villarreal claiming a late point against Juventus in a 2-2 draw.

Georges Mikautadze put Villarreal ahead in the 18th minute, but goals from Federico Gatti and Francisco Conceição appeared to have Juve on course for all three points.

Yet Renato Veiga, who was on loan at Juve in the second half of last season, thumped home a 90th-minute header to earn a draw.

Napoli 2-1 Sporting Lisbon

Rasmus Hojlund took his tally for Napoli since leaving Manchester United on loan to three goals with a decisive double for the Serie A champions.

Hojlund was teed up by former Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne for both goals, latching onto the Belgian’s throughball to open the scoring in the 36th minute.

Luis Suarez’s penalty levelled matters in the 63rd minute, but Hojlund headed home a De Bruyne cross 11 minutes from time to clinch victory for Napoli.

Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1 with PSV Eindhoven and Azerbaijani side Qarabag continued their stunning start, making it two wins from two by beating Copenhagen 2-0.
