Man City 3 Feyenoord 3: Pep Guardiola's nightmare run goes on as hosts throw away THREE-GOAL lead to draw
Yesterday at 04:54 PM
ERLING Haaland might have made Champions League history at the Etihad.
But Man City suffered one of the biggest collapses in their history after bottling a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League.
Haaland became the fastest player to reach 50 Champions League goal involvements, as the visitors launched a late comeback.
Moussa seized on some sloppy play from Gvardiol
After a rather slow and uneventful first half hour, Haaland converted a penalty in the 43rd minute after he was fouled by Quinten Timber.
And it was the opportunity City had been waiting for as the Feyenoord captain accidentally caught Haaland in the melee.
And the 24-year-old superstar hit it with every bit of venom before sending Timon Wellenreuther the wrong way.
The Norwegian hardly celebrated his cool blistering penalty as he followed the ball up and smashed it in the net again for good measure.
Ilkay Gundogan scored his first City goal, albeit with a wicked deflection, since returning from Barca over the summer.
Before Haaland made it three with his 17th goal in 13 Champions League game at the Etihad.
He is now the fastest player to reach 51 goal contributions in the Champions League, with 46 of them goals.

Hadj Moussa brought one back for the visitors in the 75th minute after seizing upon Josko Gvardiol’s poor pass back towards Ederson.
And Feyenoord caused a nervy final few minutes after Santiago Gimenez bundled the ball into the net with eight minutes of normal time remaining.
Paixao crossed it towards the back post, and found Lutomba who cut it back for Gimenez to bundle into the net.
And Hancko incredibly crawled it back to 3-3 in the 90th minute.
This was unchartered territory for City, the dark cloud continues to loom as they’ve just conceded their 3-0 lead.
Paixao made the most of his time on the ball and finds the goalscorer who heads home.
Alan Shearer believes the draw could be WORSE for morale, than City’s recent five consecutive defeats.
He said: “This could spell disaster for Guardiola. I can’t believe the decision making at the end of that game.”
City head to Liverpool shaky.
