Overview
- Erling Haaland converted a VAR-awarded penalty in the 41st minute for his 150th Manchester City goal.
- Kaoru Mitoma equalised on the hour and later hit the post as both teams threatened a winner.
- Manchester City missed several clear chances, including Bernardo Silva striking the post and late opportunities spurned by Haaland and Rayan Cherki.
- Pep Guardiola and Jeremy Doku highlighted poor finishing as the key issue, with Doku insisting the injury list is not an excuse.
- Guardiola said Savinho will be out for two months and praised young centre-backs Max Alleyne and Abdukodir Khusanov, as City stay five points behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand.
