Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini admitted Joe Hart had saved his side from a UEFA Champions League humiliation at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.

City's penalty lifeline came after Dortmund defender Neven Subotic saw Sergio Aguero kick the ball on to his hand at close quarters, a decision Mancini agreed could have gone either way. "He touched the ball with his hand. He was unlucky," he said. "It could be maybe not, but I'm happy with the penalty. I think in the end this point could be important."
