Manchester City were confirmed as Group F winners after Raheem Sterling's late goal saw them beat Feyenoord 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday
Heading into the game, City had to better the result of second-placed Shakhtar Donetsk to seal top spot and did so, with the Ukrainians losing 3-0 to Napoli and Pep Guardiola's side snatching a late victory at the Etihad Stadium
After a number of close calls and near misses, Sterling chipped home over Feyenoord goalkeeper and former Liverpool team-mate Brad Jones in the 88th minute to maintain City's 100 per cent winning record in the competition this season
Youngsters Phil Foden and Brahim Diaz came on as substitutes in the second half as Guardiola's side went four points clear at the top of Group F with one game to play
Unlike the reverse fixture in September, it was a quiet start to the game at the Etihad Stadium, with the opening 30 minutes mostly littered with slips from Jones
 It was City who had the first clear-cut chance in the 33rd minute as a superb flicked cross from Kevin De Bruyne found Sergio Aguero in the middle, but he could only head the ball just over the bar
The chances kept coming for both sides afterwards
 A thunderous shot from Sterling was punched away by Jones, before Sam Larsson just poked an effort wide of the upright at the other end
 Sterling was then involved again as he picked out Bernardo Silva on the right of the box after a mazy run, but the Portuguese's placed shot was well collected by Jones
Ederson had few saves to make, but produced a fine fingertip effort as he raced off his line to push away the ball from the feet of the oncoming Tonny Vilhena, although the Feyenoord midfielder went flying as the two collided, leading to calls for a penalty from the visiting fans
 However, the referee did not point to the spot as the first half ended without a goal
City continued to have near misses as the second period got underway with Aguero unable to direct a curling cross from Danilo towards goal, before De Bruyne powered the loose ball just wide in the 50th minute
 The Belgian again fired wide in the 63rd minute, before Yaya Toure also skimmed a fine free-kick just past the post not long after
Feyenoord's best chance of the game came in the 69th minute as Larsson slid in Steven Berghuis down the left of the box, with his effort from close range being pushed over the crossbar by Ederson
 Five minutes later, Aguero had another chance as he controlled a superb ball from Silva onto his chest but his shot on the turn went agonisingly past the post
Foden made his maiden Champions League appearance in the 75th minute, becoming City's youngest ever debutant in the competition, and the hosts eventually found the net 13 minutes later
 Sterling played a give and go with Ilkay Gundogan, who slotted him in down the right of the box, and the winger chipped ball over the oncoming Jones and into the top corner
It was to be his last contribution to the match as he was replaced by another Champions League debutant in Diaz with only injury time to play, as Man City saw the game out to take another three points
It was another solid performance from Sterling, who continues to mature under the guidance of Guardiola
 He popped up with a superb goal when it looked likely that City were going to be held by the side who are yet to pick up a point in the Champions League this season
It wasn't only in front of goal that he made important contributions
 Sterling was fully involved in plenty of Man City attacks and scored in his fourth successive Champions League match
