Pep Guardiola took the lead after 16 minutes, as a result of Kevin De Bruyne’s awkward, but ultimately successful, shot from the right. Phil Foden internally close up to the gate. It all happened so close to the border that VAR took action, but in the end the City “won”, 0–1. THE GOAL HERE!
Even after taking the lead, the guests’ dominance did not ease: Kevin De Bruyne scored a goal in the middle of the second half, Aymeric Laporte scored in the hair – the video room was no longer a blessing for the latter.
In the end, it didn’t split, it didn’t multiply, City enforced the paper form and strengthened its position at the top of the table by winning their tenth league match in a row.
