UEFA Champions League: Feyenoord last minute goal denies Man City victory

UEFA Champions League: Feyenoord last minute goal denies Man City victory

Manchester City blew a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League as their wretched form continued at a stunned Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side looked to be cruising after two goals from Erling Haaland and another from Ilkay Gundogan put the hosts into a commanding lead.

But the Dutch visitors staged a stunning comeback to take a point back to Rotterdam to the delight of their 5,000 travelling fans.

Anis Hadj Moussa took advantage of a mistake by Josko Gvardiol to score Feyenoord's first goal, before substitute Santiago Gimenez chested in his side's second in the 82nd minute to set up a grandstand finish.

The visitors completed a comeback to remember when David Hancko pounced in the 89th minute to leave City boss Guardiola shaking his head in disbelief - and some City fans booing at full-time.

Despite ending a five-match losing run, City head into Sunday's game at Premier League title rivals Liverpool having failed to win their past six matches in all competitions.

While Feyenoord fans celebrated wildly at the end, City's players looked shell-shocked after another game to forget.

In the space of four weeks, Guardiola's side have gone out of the EFL Cup, lost three Premier League games on the spin and dropped five points out of six in the Champions League.
