The 'Curse of the Triple Captain' strikes again! Winners and losers as FPL-favourite Erling Haaland's day to forget costs Man City crucial points in the title race while Chelsea show signs of life under Mauricio Pochettino
The Norwegian missed chance after chance on
Saturday as Pep Guardiola's side dropped crucial points after wins for
Liverpool and Arsenal
This is the Premier League title race that keeps
on giving, and with all three title contenders in action on Saturday, fans felt
primed for another twist. It came at the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City
were forced to battle back to earn a draw against Chelsea as the defending
champions put in a performance that suggested they will not have things all
their own way going down the stretch.
For the eighth time in their last 13 league
matches, City conceded the first goal as Raheem Sterling returned to the Etihad
to haunt his former club, finishing off a slick Chelsea counter-attack three
minutes before half-time.
At the other end, the missed chances were beginning to add up for City, and in particular Erling Haaland, who endured an evening to forget. The Norwegian goal machine had 10 attempts on goal during the game but failed to take any of his chances, with a couple of his headed efforts absolute sitters.
