Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini hails Joe Hart following Champions League victory
Manuel Pellegrini praised Joe Hart's "brilliant saves"
MANUEL PELLEGRINI praised Joe Hart's heroics in Manchester City's 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Sergio Aguero's last minute penalty snatched victory for Pellegrini's side after the hosts had taken the lead just after half-time.

The result could have been different had the England No 1 not saved Raffael's penalty in the first half however.
Nicolas Otamendi had conceded the penalty kick but made amends when he scored City's equaliser in the 65th minute.

And the Chilean manager commended Hart for keeping his side in the game and helping City to their first Champions League win of the campaign.
"It was a strange game!" he said. "For 65 minutes both teams had very good chances to score, we did not defend well. In the last half hour we improved a lot and won the game.

"We knew that Borussia have a very fast team. Joe Hart made some brilliant saves. It could have been 4-4 after an hour but then we dominated the game.
"We got a little bit of luck at the end but we have had plenty of bad luck recently."
