LEROY SANE has apologised after his goal for Manchester City against Monaco cost one unlucky punter €34,200 (£30,000).

The second part of the bet was that City would win 4-3, but in the 82nd minute the slip was worth nothing as Sane tapped home.
The £37million midfielder, who shone at the Etihad last night, shared a photo of the betting slip on Twitter, writing “sorry for that poor guy” before adding the hashtag “inSANE”.
City were 2-1 down at half-time, and after getting themselves back into the game early doors in the second period through Sergio Aguero, they then went 3-2 down.

But Pep Guardiola’s side showed tremendous fighting spirit, and thanks to another from Aguero, and strikes from John Stones and Sane ended a memorable game.
The German expertly set up Raheem Sterling for the opening goal, and when his players actually tried to find him with their hit-and-miss passing, he was a huge attacking threat.
Perhaps his boss Pep Guardiola wasn't sure whether he was an out-and-out winger or an attacking midfielder, but he is starting to showcase skills some of his other team-mates appear to have forgotten this season.
