Premier League
Man City is in crisis again: 2-2 after 2-0 at Brentford FC
Pep Guardiola and Manchester City miss their third success in a row in the Premier League after conceding late goals. In the end the master even has a lot of luck. There is no winner in the top game.
Manchester City continues to struggle in the Premier League after a small interim high. Despite a 2-0 lead, star coach Pep Guardiola’s team only managed a 2-2 draw at Brentford FC after conceding late goals. With 35 points, the English football champions only remain in sixth place.
City missed the chance to take the lead in the first hour, especially thanks to superstar Erling Haaland and Savinho. England’s international striker Phil Foden redeemed Guardiola’s team after a perfect pass from Kevin de Bruyne (66th minute). A few minutes later, Foden was successful again with his fourth goal of the season – the third win in a row seemed almost certain.
Brentford hit back late
However, City is still flawed defensively. First Nathan Aké saved just in front of the line for the defeated goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. Then Yoane Wissa overcame the former Bielefeld goalkeeper to score the next goal (82′). Ortega was also powerless against Christian Nörgaard’s header in stoppage time (90+2). Aké then even saved City from defeat. The Dutchman cleared again in dire need (90+5).
In the top game, surprise team Nottingham Forest fought to a 1-1 (1-0) draw against leaders Liverpool FC. This means that coach Arne Slot’s Reds remain confidently in first place with 47 points. Nottingham is currently second with 41 points. Chris Wood gave Nottingham a 1-0 lead (8th). Diogo Jota equalized with a header for Liverpool in the second half (66th). Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels then saved his team a point with brilliant saves.
Chelsea FC couldn’t get beyond a draw. The Blues only managed a 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth. Chelsea have now been waiting for a win for five league games.
