Good evening and welcome to LIVE text commentary of tonight's Europa League action, where Manchester City welcome Red Bull Salzburg to Eastlands in Group A.

Well done to City, who book their place in the last 32 with a straightforward win. Job done, and their Europa League adventure will continue in February next year. We'll be back tomorrow with more Europa League action - including Steaua Bucharest v Liverpool. Join us then!

FULL-TIME: Johnson tries to squeeze his way through a wall of defenders - it's a task too big, but it's the final action of the match!

The City fans take a break from chanting 'Alan' to sing Mancini's name. He responds with a little wave.

Three minutes of stoppages to be played.

Alan has a half-chance - if he had found the back of the net would that have spoiled his relationship with the City faithful?

Juventus have scored an equaliser in Poland - that puts City clear two points ahead of Lech Poznan if the score stays the same, and assured of a place in the last 16.

ADEBAYOR CLOSE AGAIN! The Togolese star looks set to get on the scoresheet but lifts his finish from 12 yards just over Tremmel's crossbar.

The snow is still falling quite heavily, by the way - the people who have made it here will not have had the easiest of journeys, and it won't be too easy coming back either.

Lescott strokes the ball back to Given for the Irishman to send forward, but this time the ball ends up with the Austrian side and Schiemer wins a throw-in close to the byline.

Sekagya picks up a booking for felling Wright-Phillips as City threatened to break.

Tenacious tackling from Vieira to deny Boghossian, and Manchester City get back on the move.

City looking for a fourth, but Milner's cross is a little heavy and Salzburg clear.

ADEBAYOR CLOSE! Cracking pass from Jo and a crisp drive from Adebayor, which Tremmel stood up well to save for a corner.

Off comes Toure, and Micah Richards will have a few minutes to run around in the snow.

Sekagya tries a shot, but the captain of Salzburg slices his drive high and wide and it's no concern for Given.

Plenty for the City players on the pitch to play for - many of this eleven have had limited opportunities so far this season.

JOHNSON MAKES IT THREE! CRACKING GOAL! He starts on the left touchline, slips past Schiemer, Alan and Sekagya before tucking nonchalantly into the far corner - superb individual effort, and adds a little gloss to the scoreline.

Another touch for Alan - another huge cheer from the City fans. Does he have any idea what's going on?

Sekagya takes the ball forward and tries to get Red Bull back on the move, but they don't look like a side who believe they can come back into this one.

Goal kick for Tremmels as the intensity seems to have left this game.
