Manchester City drew 2-2 with Monaco as late goals continue to haunt them. Haaland's brace was overshadowed by a last-minute penalty.
Manchester City’s recent struggles with conceding late goals continued as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Monaco in the Champions League. Despite Erling Haaland’s two goals, a 90th-minute penalty by Eric Dier denied City a much-needed win.
Pep Guardiola, who previously dismissed concerns over late goals, might reconsider after City dropped points again. The match against Monaco is the latest in a series of games where City has conceded late, impacting their standing both domestically and in Europe.
Key points
- City drew 2-2 with Monaco after conceding a late penalty.
- Haaland scored twice but criticised the team’s performance.
- City have a pattern of conceding late goals this season.
- They have dropped three Premier League points due to late goals.
- City remain unbeaten in their last six matches.
Why it matters
This trend of conceding late goals could have significant implications for Manchester City’s ambitions this season. With points dropped in both the Premier League and Champions League, Guardiola’s side must address these defensive lapses to maintain competitiveness in key competitions.
The inability to secure wins in such scenarios could hinder their progress and affect their standings in both domestic and European competitions.
