Manchester City show championship class with win at Tottenham
TOTTENHAM 1, MAN CITY 3
It was the hallmark of champions – as Manchester City are destined to be – how they overcame adversity to defeat top-four team Tottenham so comprehensively at Wembley.
After losing three games in a row – had it become four it would have been the club’s worst record for 12 years – this was a massive test for City.
Liverpool land Champions League knockout blow against Manchester City
MAN CITY 1, LIVERPOOL 2
(Liverpool won 5-1 on aggregate)
AFTER breezing through the 2017/18 campaign for more than eight months, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola have suddenly been found lacking at the business end of the season.
Three defeats in a disastrous seven days – twice to Liverpool in the quarter finals of the Champions League and also in the Manchester derby – have exposed chinks in the armour of Guardiola who had until now done little wrong.
Manchester United are party poopers as they win at Manchester City to delay Premier League title coronation
MAN CITY 2, MAN UTD 3
Manchester City’s coronation as Premier League champions has been put on ice following their derby defeat at home to neighbours United.
In an extraordinary game, United produced a remarkable fightback to delay the celebrations as City could have won the title and made history by securing it with six games to go, something no other team had done.
Manchester City suffer first home loss in 15 months but still cruise into last eight of Champions League
MAN CITY 1, FC BASEL 1893 2
(Man City won 5-2 on aggregate)
In this season of record-breaking exploits, Manchester City claimed an unwanted one, even though they marched into the semi finals of the Champions League.
City still have to win both games of a two-legged tie in Europe’s elite club competition following their home defeat to FC Basel 1893.
Having said that, the job had already been done following a 4-0 victory in Switzerland and no team had ever lost in the competition from such a position of strength.
This was, however, City’s first home defeat of the season and first loss at the Etihad in 15 months since they were beaten by Chelsea in December 2016.
