Liverpool’s Premier League title rivals Manchester City had a night to forget in a dramatic end to their Champions League clash against Feyenoord, as their winless run continued.
Going into the game, Pep Guardiola’s men were looking to bounce back from five defeats in a row in all competitions. The latest was a shock 4-0 home defeat against Tottenham at the weekend.
Things looked to have turned around when Man City hosted Feyernoord. Two goals from Erling Haaland and another from Ilkay Gundogan gave them a comfortable 3-0 lead in the 53rd minute.
They held that advantage until the 75th minute when Anis Hadj-Moussa pulled a goal back for the Dutch team. Things got more nervy for City when Santiago Gomez scored another to make it 3-2 with eight minutes left to play.
The comeback was complete for Feyenoord in the 89th minute with David Hancko sparking scenes in the away end with his goal. The draw means that City are now winless in six games, going into the weekend’s Premier League clash against Liverpool.
In the closing stages of the match, while Feyenoord were seeing the draw out, the away fans sang Liverpool’s iconic song ‘you’ll never walk alone’ in support of their team. While the song is associated with Liverpool is is also sang by Feyenoord fans on a regular basis.
Videos also show the travelling fans showing appreciation for their former now Liverpool manager Arne Slot, with chants of ‘Arne Slot La La La’. The Dutchman left the Eredivisie club to manage Liverpool in the summer.
The Champions League clash means that City will come into the Premier League clash against Liverpool low on confidence. A win for the Reds over Guardiola’s side will move them 11 points clear of their rivals at the top of the Premier League table.
