Guardiolas City fails again
Chelsea was sobered up in the 95th minute

Manchester City are not getting into shape at all in the Premier League this season. Against West Bromwich Albion, Josep Guardiola's team has the next bad dropout. Meanwhile, Chelsea FC surprisingly missed the temporary jump to the top.

The national soccer players Timo Werner and Kai Havertz missed the championship lead in the English Premier League with Chelsea. On matchday 13, the Blues lost 1: 2 (0: 0) at the last minute at Wolverhampton Wanderers and remain fifth with 22 points for the time being. Coach Frank Lampard's team was the superior team for long stretches, but the Londoners were only successful after the break. Werner put Ben Chilwell in the limelight on the left, whose cross French World Champion Olivier Giroud converted to 1-0 (49th minute).

Chelsea did not manage to calm the game afterwards – on the contrary: A shot by Wanderers offensive player Daniel Podence was deflected slightly by Chelsea defender Reece James and landed in the goal to equalize 1-1 (66th). When everything looked like a draw, Pedro Neto caused the second Chelsea defeat in a row in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Josep Guardiola's Manchester City only scored 1-1 (1-1) against West Bromwich Albion despite their oppressive superiority and are sixth. Borussia Mönchengladbach's eighth-final opponent in the Champions League took the lead after half an hour with Ilkay Gündogan's first goal of the season, but Semi Ajayi surprisingly equalized shortly before the break. More than 75 percent possession of the ball and numerous top-class opportunities were no longer enough for City to win.
