Klopp keeps CL hopes
Man City is embarrassed at BVB dress rehearsal
This bankruptcy is surprising and embarrassing, but does not seriously endanger the championship plans of Manchester City. Against Leeds, the team of coach Guardiola loses despite the majority. Things are going better for Liverpool this matchday. The curse has been overcome – the Champions League is still possible.
English leaders Manchester City have suffered a surprising defeat in the Premier League. Despite a half-time outnumbered, Bundesliga opponents Borussia Dortmund lost 1: 2 (0: 1) at home to Leeds United. The winning goal for the guests only fell in stoppage time.
Four days after the 2-1 victory against BVB in the premier football league, Man City lost thanks to a brace from Leeds’ Stuart Dallas (42nd / 90th + 1 minute). The guests showed a strong defensive performance at the Etihad Stadium from the start, but were weakened by a dismissal shortly before half-time. After VAR sighting, Liam Cooper saw the red card for a too hard boarding against Gabriel Jesus.
Ferran Torres (76.) achieved the interim compensation for the game-determining Citizens, who increased the pressure and fired significantly more shots on goal. But Leeds did not open up despite being outnumbered and even had the chance to take the lead again before the winning goal when Raphinha suddenly appeared in the penalty area in front of City goalkeeper Ederson, but could not get past the keeper.
Liverpool FC finally wins at home
In the table, Man City are still 14 points ahead of second Manchester United, who have played two games less. Starcoach Pep Guardiola’s team needs a maximum of eleven points to win the seventh English championship. City’s quarter-final second leg of the premier class at BVB will take place on Wednesday (9 p.m. in the ntv.de live ticker) instead of.
Liverpool FC have won again at Anfield after eight home games without a win. With the 2: 1 (0: 1) against Aston Villa, the Reds improved at least temporarily to fourth place in the table on Saturday afternoon. Mohamed Salah (75th) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (90th + 1) let coach Jürgen Klopp cheer after the guests from Birmingham had previously led by Ollie Watkins (43rd). Liverpool had previously been unlucky when a goal by Roberto Firmino was denied by the video referee because of a wafer-thin offside position.
In every stadium on this football weekend in England two minutes of silence were observed for the British Prince Philip before kick-off. Queen Elizabeth II’s husband died on Friday at the age of 99.
