The Morning Score: Wednesday

City are up-and-running, Rory’s in the swing and the French name their side for the rugby decider.

1. #CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Sergio Aguero’s winner deep in stoppage time has Manchester City’s European Cup campaign up and running.

Roberto Mancini said afterwards the 93rd-minute goal could prove ‘very important’. I think he’s right.

City ultimately beat Villarreal 2-1 at Eastlands. Meanwhile, local rivals United won 2-1 in Bucharest.

Here’s how all the night’s action unfolded.

2. #CHAMPIONS LEAGUE There’s yet more top club football tonight of course. We’ll liveblog it all as Arsenal travel to a packed Velodrome in Marseille and  Chelsea welcome Genk.

3. #BOXING Katie Taylor took another step towards her fifth successive lightweight title at the European Women’s Boxing Championships with a comprehensive victory over Romina Marenda yesterday.

The Bray star faces a quarter-final showdown with Ayzanat Hajiyeva of Azerbaijan this afternoon.

4. #RWC2011 Marc Lievremont has named an unchanged side for Sunday’s Rugby World Cup final against hosts the All Blacks.

5. #GOLF Rory McIlroy is going head-to-head  with Keegan Bradley for the PGA Grand Slam of Golf title in Bermuda.

Both opened the 36-hole event for this season’s four major winners with four-under-par 67s yesterday, while Charl Schwartzel managed only a 74 and Darren Clarke slumped to a 77.

The Dungannon man said he’d try to find the answer to his problems ‘at the bottom of a glass’.

6. #RED We’ve been debating the merits or otherwise of Sam Warburton’s red card last weekend.

Last night, Manchester United skipper Nemanja Vidic was dismissed for this tackle. Harsh?
