Manchester City v Sunderland


Manchester City 3-3 Sunderland

Is Manchester City’s title mission falling apart after losing their 100% home recorded

Manchester City’s title challenge is starting to crumble after another poor performance, they came from 3-1 down to scramble a 3-3 draw with Sunderland. It is now advantage Manchester United in the title race they can go 5 points clear on Monday night.

From the first ball Sunderland were better and played with lots of confidence you may of even thought that Sunderland were the team challenging for the title with Man Utd instead of City.

All of Sunderland’s good work and pressure paid off when Sessengon found him self in miles of space he then squared the ball to Larsson who then placed a perfect shot down into the left hand corner leaving Joe Hart with absolute no chance.

After Sunderland had scored City looked to respond and they had a few chances but noting came of them but 12 minutes after Larsson’s goal Dzeko went down in the box after collision with Craig Gardner Mario Balotelli stood yup and scored the penalty after 41 minutes and City looked to maintain the record of never being behind at half time this season.

There was a dramatic twist in first half stoppage time, Sunderland were awarded a free kick it was taken quickly and a cross came in and Bendtner headed home to make sure Sunderland would lead at half time.



City were yet to see the worst of the game as they would fall further behind when City left the filed wide open for Larsson who passed the ball to Bendtner to put it back across goal and Larsson side footed home for 3-1 Sunderland after 55 Minutes.




After the goal Sunderland were still creating chances. Mancini had seen enough so he brought on Carlos Tevez who made an impact. City only came into the game in the last 5 minutes and got 1 back through Mario Balotelli scored to give City a chance, and proved big because when that went in the crowed lifted and got behind the team Mancini still not happy didn’t get up from his seat.

Sunderland must of thought they had held on but a drive from Kolorv brought City level and Mancini jumped out of his seat. He said after the game that it was a poor performance by his team and SUndrland deserved to win.

FT REPORT: MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 TOTTENHAM

MANCHESTER CITY put Wednesday's Champions League disappointment behind them after beating Spurs 1-0 to put the pressure back onto Liverpool in the title race.  (C) Manchester City  City came flying out of the blocks right away. It didn't take long to get in front. Bernando Silva's cross found Sergio Aguero, who had too much space in the box and headed across goal for Phil Foden who headed in from close range after just five minutes.  That was Foden's first Premier League goal on his second ever Premier League start. City continued to create chances but failed to take them. Aguero thought he was in after being played through by Bernando Silva but he was flagged offside.  Paulo Ganzaniga came into the starting lineup as one of five Tottenham changes. He however, was looking fragile. He made a number of errors that only gave City confidence. Trying to chip the ball over a player five yards out was one of a number of things the keeper attempted that c...
