 Sergio Aguero's hat-trick - including two goals in the last five minutes - kept Manchester City's Champions League hopes alive in a dramatic victory over Bayern Munich.

CSKA Moscow's late equaliser against Roma in Russia earlier in the evening ensured even a defeat by Bayern at Etihad Stadium would not end City's hopes of going through to the last 16.

But it looked like they would be facing the task of needing to win convincingly in Rome in their final game as they trailed to Bayern in the closing moments.

City can now go through if they better CSKA's result against Bayern, but if City lose their game against Roma or it ends in a 0-0 draw, they would go out of the competition.

Bayern had to play with 10 men for 70 minutes after Mehdi Benatia was sent off for a foul on Aguero that saw the world-class striker put City ahead from the penalty spot.

But they turned the game on its head before half-time through Xabi Alonso's free-kick and a Robert Lewandowski header.

And that was how it stood until a stirring finish that evoked memories of that famous day in May 2012 when Aguero snatched glorious triumph from despair and won the Premier League title in the dying seconds against QPR.
