Man City 3-3 Feyenoord (26 Nov 2024) Match Analysis

Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 at Dutch side Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday in another disastrous performance from Pep Guardiola’s stuttering side.

Erling Haaland got a brace for the hosts, but major defensive blunders in the dying minutes saw them drop to 15th in the Champions League table on eight points.

Haaland got City on the scoreboard in the 45th minute with a blistering penalty past Timon Wellenreuther after he was adjudged in the box.

Ilkay Gundogan doubled the lead in the 50th minute with a low long-range shot that took a deflection before Haaland completed his brace three minutes later when he tapped in Matheus Nunes’ cross for his 46th goal in Europe’s elite competition.

Amazingly, Feyenoord responded with three goals inside 15 minutes, first from Anis Hadj Moussa, who pounced on a careless ball back from Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Then Santiago Gimenez struck seven minutes later when he headed home Jordan Lotomba’s cross, created from another wayward Gvardiol pass.

David Hancko got the equalizer in the 89th minute when City keeper Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao, who sent a cross for Hancko to head home.
