Manchester City 3-3 Feyenoord: Guardiola’s side blow three-goal lead in 15 minutes

Manchester City let a three-goal lead slip at home to Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, capping another disastrous episode in a worrying period.

Pep Guardiola's side come into the match having lost each of their last five games in all competitions, despite taking the lead.

Erling Haaland scored a brace for the hosts either side of an Ilkay Gundogan goal, putting them on course to end their disappointing run before huge defensive errors saw them implode in the final 15 minutes.

Feyenoord's response started through Anis Hadj Moussa, who took full advantage of a mistake by Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Santiago Gimenez got the second seven minutes later, cheating on Jordan Lotomba's cross after another wayward pass from Gvardiol.

David Hancko completed the barely credible comeback in the 89th minute after Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao, who passed in front of goal.

After the draw, Manchester City dropped to 15th place in the 36-team league, five places and one point above Feyenoord.

Data debrief: Sorry City drops to new low

Although Manchester City ended their losing streak here, that doesn't tell half the story for a previously all-conquering side that looks devoid of confidence.

Guardiola's side have now gone six games without a win in all competitions.

They are also the first team in Champions League history to have a three-goal lead after 75 minutes and fail to win.
