Vlahovic and McKennie Score In Damaging Defeat For City
Looking to get back to winning ways after a frustrating draw away at Crystal Palace on Sunday, Manchester City travelled to Turin to take on Serie A giants Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Cityzens headed into the tie having failed to win each of their last two matches in the competition, losing 4-1 to Sporting in early November, followed by a bitterly disappointing 3-3 draw with Feyenoord at home two weeks ago.
It was a first-half to forget from a neutral’s point of view, with chances few and far between, however Pep Guardiola‘s side looked likeliest to open the scoring.
Unfortunately for the reigning English champions, that meant nothing, as the hosts took the lead eight minutes into the second period. Kenan Yildiz’s curled right-footed cross found Dusan Vlahovic at the back post, and despite Ederson getting in the way of his header initially, his effort just about crept over the line.
City fought tooth and nail to get back into the tie, but they were unable to find a leveller.
The hosts introduced American duo Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie on the 69-minute mark, and it would prove a valuable move for Thiago Motta, with the pair combining beautifully for the Old Lady‘s second goal.
McKennie sent Weah in behind down the right-hand side, and after Rico Lewis blocked his initial cross, the forward’s second ball found McKennie in the middle, who struck a wonderful first-time volley beyond Ederson.
Defeat leaves the Cityzens with just one win in their last 10 matches across all competitions and in 22nd place in the Champions League table, just about in the playoff positions, while Juventus climb up to 14th.
