However, Jimenez  strayed offside as he converted Diogo Jota's cross after Vincent Kompany had  carelessly conceded possession.    City responded superbly and cursed their luck after Aguero hit the post from  a deflected cross and Rui Patricio produced heroics with a superb save to tip  Sterling's fierce long-range half-volley against the crossbar.   Fernandinho then dragged wide and Jimenez flashed across goal at the other  end. Patricio got a hand on a wonderful Benjamin Mendy cross as City continued  to threaten, the Portugal international alert to keep out Aguero's tame  follow-up.    Similarly smart goalkeeping from Ederson prevented Helder Costa for breaking  the deadlock at the near post, but from the subsequent corner Boly dived in at  the far post to turn Joao Moutinho's cross in with his right arm.   David Silva was left aghast when referee Martin Atkinson failed to point to  the spot after he was pushed in the back by Ruben Neves, but City had reason to  celebrate when the unmarked Laporte powered in from Gundogan's dinked cross,  before Aguero's injury-time free-kick struck the bar.</blockquote>
