City throw away three-goal cushion

Manchester City were rocked at home in the Champions League as their winless run continued following a late comeback by Feyenoord.

Pep Guardiola’s recent streak only continued to worsen as the Citizens made it six games without a win in all competitions on Tuesday.

After going ahead through Erling Haaland from the penalty spot, the English champions looked to have sealed the deal with a 3-0 advantage by the 75 minute as Ilkay Gundogan got the second and Haaland completed his brace.

The Dutch side had other plans, though, and ensured City would become the first team in Champions League history to lead by three goals with quarter of an hour to play and then fail to win.

Goals from Anis Hadj Moussa, Santiago Giménez and David Hancko rocked the Etihad as the 3-3 scoreline left the Manchester side in 15th place on the league phase table.

Elsewhere on the night, Robert Lewandowski found the net for the 100th time in the competition as Barcelona beat Brest 3-0.

The German is now only the third player after Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to reach the milestone.

The 40-goal Tuesday also saw Bayern Munich defeat PSG 1-0, Arsenal thrash Sporting 5-1 and Inter going top of the standings after a 1-0 win over Leipzig.

On Wednesday, all eyes will turn to Anfield as Liverpool host Real Madrid while Juventus travel to Aston Villa and Monaco face Benfica.
