Makeshift Manchester City go down to first defeat of the season at Shakhtar Donetsk

December 6, 2017 by Paul Chan

SHAKHTAR DONETSK 2, MANCHESTER CITY 1

Shakhtar Donetsk became the first club to beat Manchester City this season, winning 2-1 in Kharkiv to qualify for the knock-out stage of the Champions League after Napoli lost 2-1 at 10-man Feyenoord.

First half goals by Bernard and Ismaily set a motivated Shakhtar on their way to inflicting the first defeat on City since April 5 this year, and while Sergio Aguero’s injury time penalty gave City hope of another miracle, boss Pep Guardiola’s 100th Champions League game ended with the demise of City’s record 20 game winning run even though they had already qualified for the knock-out stage.

It was a night for City’s youngsters and fringe players to try and stake their claim for first team action but instead it was a night to forget for most of them.

Manchester United thank David De Gea for weathering Arsenal storm but lose Paul Pogba for next week’s Derby

ARSENAL 1, MANCHESTER UNITED 3

Manchester United kept the heat up on their title rivals Manchester City by winning handsomely at Arsenal to reduce Pep Guardiola’s side to a five point lead ahead of City’s home game against West Ham on Sunday.

It was a stylish win which should silence some of the criticism of Jose Mourinho’s ‘defensive’ tactics in the way that his United side applied three killer blows from just 4 shots on targets while David De Gea kept out a barrage of Arsenal attacks.

Both sides were unchanged from their last matches but this match didn’t seem to suffer from any perceived tiredness.

Ashley Young’s goal form returns as Manchester United win at Watford

WATFORD 2, MANCHESTER UNITED 4

Manchester United scored four goals in a match for the eighth time this season but were given a scare in the second half as Watford mounted a late comeback and threatened to take a point off Jose Mourinho’s men.

Ashley Young scored twice and Anthony Martial chipped in during an attacking first half as United sought to reduce Manchester City’s lead at the top of the Premier League to five points with what seemed a regulation blitz from earlier in the season.

Complacency set in for the Reds, though, as Watford’s Richarlison hit the bar before the break before the Hornets pulled two goals back through Troy Deeney and Andrew Carillo late in the second half leaving the home side regretting their first half miss.

Jesse Lingard scored again to quell the Watford rebellion though, and United will be able to go to the Emirates on Saturday for a big game against Arsenal back in goalscoring form.
