Manchester City made things hard for themselves against Schalke 04 in the Champions League on Wednesday night, but in the end they emerged victorious.Sergio Aguero opened the scoring in the 18th minute, but two penalties from former Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb gave Schalke a 2-1 lead heading into half-time.A second bookable offence from Nicolas Otamendi in the 68th minute then saw City go down to ten men, at which point the game seemed lost.But a stunning free-kick from Leroy Sane with five minutes of normal time remaining drew the Citizens level, before Raheem Sterling bagged a 90th-minute winner.Sterling ran through on goal and provided a clinical finish past Ralf Fahrmann to give City the advantage heading into the second leg.City were far from their best, but the hallmark of champions is winning when the chips are down and that's exactly what Pep Guardiola's men did.Speaking after the game, Guardiola admitted that his side simply weren't good enough and must improve to challenge for the trophy."We're not ready to fight for the Champions League," the Spaniard said. "We gave away the goals and the red card."They didn't have a shot on target and scored twice. If they'd scored a third or fourth then maybe we're out."We played incredibly well. I'm delighted but it's not enough. We gifted the goals. Give me this result before and where do I sign? But every stage is tough."City's defenders have their attacking teammates to thank for securing an important victory at the Veltins-Arena - not to mention their goalkeeper, Ederson.The Brazilian is renowned for his range of passing and he claimed the assist for Sterling's last-minute winner with an incredible 70-yard pass.

City are very lucky to have a goalkeeper like Ederson, who regularly demonstrates his power and accuracy when it comes to passing from deep inside his own half.

Sterling also deserves credit for the strength he showed to out-muscle his marker and showing composure to make it 3-2 at the death.

Here's how football fans reacted to Ederson's stunning pass.
