UK Back Pages: City Take Another European Hit, Sterling Partying Reports Emerge

Manchester City's European hopes took another big hit as they were held to a 2-2 draw in front of an empty stadium in Moscow. 

Typically, earning a point away in the Champions League is a win, but considering City squandered a 2-0 advantage and were undone by a late, controversial penalty, they will leave Russia unhappy with the result. 

Elsewhere, The Sun run a front-page report that Raheem Sterling was out partying all night after missing an England match due to apparent fatigue. 

The Star lead with the disappointment for City.
