UEFA Champions League: Pep Guardiola's Manchester City Play Out 3-3 Draw Against Feyenoord
Manchester City squandered a 3-0 lead and settled for a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League, continuing their disappointing form at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola's team seemed to be in control after Erling Haaland scored two goals and Ilkay Gundogan added another, putting the hosts in a commanding position. However, the Dutch visitors mounted a remarkable comeback, delighting their 5,000 travelling fans as they secured a point to take back to Rotterdam. The first goal for Feyenoord came when Anis Hadj Moussa capitalized on a mistake by Josko Gvardiol. Substitute Santiago Gimenez then scored the second goal for Feyenoord in the 82nd minute, setting the stage for an exciting finish. The visitors completed their comeback in the 89th minute when David Hancko scored, leaving City manager Guardiola shaking his head in disbelief and prompting some City fans to boo at full-time. Despite ending a five-match losing streak, Manchester City heads into Sunday's game against Premier League title rivals Liverpool without having won any of their last six matches in all competitions.
