A nightmare first half...
Already trailing 1-0, and with Aït-Nouri's injury (22nd minute) disrupting Pep Guardiola's plans, Manchester City dug their own grave a little deeper by almost gifting a goal to Tottenham through a massive blunder.
As a symbol, the error came from City's new goalkeeper, Trafford, while Ederson remains on the bench, the Brazilian keeper being on the verge of leaving.
The young English goalkeeper (22 years old) attempted a short pass while his teammate was under pressure. The Spurs thus recovered the ball in the box, before Palinha slotted it into the net.
Trafford is not having an easy match, being guilty of a foul on Kudus that could have cost the Citizens dearly.
