Manchester City tumbles: Derby Pech and a frustrating 2: 2!
In a gripping Premier League duel on the Selhurst Park, the "Skyblues" from Manchester City had to be satisfied with a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Despite the dominant way of playing and compensation from Erling Haaland and Rico Lewis, both of whom are entering the history books, the team of Coach Pep Guardiola did not manage to secure the important three points, such as vienna.at reported. The game started with an early goal for Palace when Daniel Munoz already netted in the 4. minute. Frequent interruptions and unfortunate decisions shaped the game, in particular a controversial yellow-red card against Lewis in the 84th minute, the City's efforts made it even more difficult.
questionable decisions and missed opportunities
After this emotional roller coaster ride,city now had to look at their place in the table: Fourth place, which is currently eight points behind the leaders Liverpool, could turn out to be tricky. This roller coaster ride in the league is particularly frustrating for Guardiola because his team was only able to celebrate one win in the last eight games. The balance of forces in the title race has become even more unstable after the draw. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, took a step in the right direction and consolidated the 16th place in the table with one point, such as skysports.com emphasized.
Lewis was particularly noteworthy, who, despite his late dismissal, shone with his third Premier League goal, before which his performance shone especially in combination with Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva. However, the increasing injury problems and unfortunate decisions such as VAR reviews raise the question of whether City still has the necessary strength to decisively participate in the title race. Despite the increased hopes after the victory against Nottingham Forest, this was a bitter setback. The competition does not sleep, while the "Skyblues" are now more than ever required to find their shape in the coming games.| Details | |
