The Englishman squandered a glorious chance to get on the scoresheet in Saturday night’s clash

Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has not been spared after squandering a glorious opportunity to score in Saturday's UEFA Champions League clash with Olympique Lyon. The 25-year-old England international failed to tie the scores at 2-2-2, sending his attempt miles over the bar whiles facing an empty post.

It was one of the 'hands on head' moments in the night's encounter and a goal could have potentially spurred the Citizens on to achieve great things.

First, Gabriel Jesus's trickery came in handy on the right and the Brazilian, having made way past his challenger, picked out Sterling with a low cross. However, the former Liverpool attacker skied a shot over the bar while being just two yards out with an empty net in front of him. Watch:
