Overview
- Bernardo Silva’s sixth-minute finish was overturned for offside after a VAR check on Haaland’s flick-on.
- Robin Roefs made key stops from Haaland, Savinho and Josko Gvardiol, while Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Brobbey, Adingra and Mayenda.
- Gvardiol was City’s late threat, glancing a header on target and flicking an effort onto the outside of the post.
- City lost Nico Gonzalez and Savinho to injuries, with Rodri and Jeremy Doku returning from layoffs as second-half substitutes.
- The result ends City’s eight-match winning run in all competitions and leaves them second on 41 points, four behind Arsenal, with Sunderland seventh.
