<b>FT: Villarreal 0-3 Man City.</b> Not a lot to add to the first-half summary, aside from: Yaya Toure scored again. A walk in the park for the Premier League leaders and they leapfrog Napoli into second place in the group.

Free-kick now for Villarreal, tight to the right touchline. Valero to deliver.

I wish I could update you with some interesting happenings but there are none to report I'm afraid.

City just taking the mickey a little bit now just passing it around unopposed and Villarreal don't seem to have anything left in their tank.

I'm sure Joe Hart would appreciate a clean sheet, going into this game he had gone five games without a shut out.

This game just drifting towards its inevitable conclusion now.

Wonderful skill from Clichy and a delightful through-ball with his right foot. But it comes to nothing. Shame as it deserved better.

<i>Stat Attack: If Villarreal fail to score in the next nine minutes they will have not managed a goal in four of their past five games in the Champions League. </i>

Aguero is getting rather vocal abuse every time he touches the ball.

Best passing move of the game for Villarreal - i.e. they put six consecutive passes together - ends with Valero volleying a pass straight to a City shirt.

Valero wins a free-kick after Milner gives him a shove.

Turning to Bayern v Napoli, Holger Badstuber has just been sent off for the hosts in Munich and Napoli have just scored - a second for Fernandez has made it Bayern 3-2 Napoli.

Villarreal fans of course dislike Aguero after Yellow Submarine players accused him of rubbing last week's winning goal in their faces in the tunnel after the game.
