Man City 1-1 PSG: Khadija Shaw opener cancelled out with Andree Jeglertz's side in danger of not making Women's Champions League top four

Report as Man City and PSG drew 1-1 in the Women's Champions League; Khadija Shaw scored an 85th-minute penalty to give the hosts the lead; Tara Elimbi Gilbert's late strike earned PSG a point; Man City did move up to 10t in the standings, four points behind Chelsea and Arsenal in top four

Manchester City remain winless in this season's Women's Champions League after Tara Elimbi Gilbert's late strike earned Paris Saint-Germain a 1-1 draw at the Joie Stadium.

Andree Jeglertz's side had appeared to be on course for a much-needed victory when Khadija Shaw - fresh from finishing third in this week's Ballon d'Or - converted an 85th-minute penalty to finally make the breakthrough against stubborn opponents, the Jamaica striker's 10th goal in her last 10 outings.

However, the hosts - unbeaten so far this season - then switched off to allow Gilbert to level just three minutes later to put in jeopardy their hopes of finishing in the top four of the new league phase, and with it automatic qualification for the quarter-finals without needing to go through the play-offs.

City do move up to 10th place in the standings, but still four points behind the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal in the top four after a third straight draw.

'Not the start Man City had envisioned'

"More dropped points for Man City. Three draws in three games in the Champions League sees them scramble into the playoff places in the league table.

"It's not the start the club had envisioned on their return to the competition, especially after completing the domestic double last season.

"It's also far from perfect preparation for a huge WSL game at London City on Sunday."
