Yaya Toure's late penalty spared the blushes of England goalkeeper Joe Hart and kept Manchester City on top of the Premier League in a dramatic finale.
The home side, still without injured Sergio Aguero and David Silva, thought they had done enough to secure three points when £32million defender Nicolas Otamendi scored his first goal at The Etihad with a fantastic header.
But with seven minutes left, Hart came out to take a regulation catch from Robbie Brady's high cross, only for the ball to squirm out of his left glove and bounce down for Cameron Jerome to equalise.
The goal was met with as much relief as joy by the home fans who had seen their team toil for a lot of the game, clearly effected by the absence of star men Aguero and Silva.
And Hart then redeemed himself with a brilliant late save from Martin Olsson before Aleksandar Kolarov missed a second Manchester City penalty with the last kick of the game after Brady had tripped Sterling.
