Is Kevin De Bruyne’s arrogance uncalled for, or should we support his view that he is the best in the world? The podcast It’s All Kicking Off.
In addition to defeating Manchester United 3-1 on Sunday, Manchester City also put a stop to the Red Devils’ illustrious record that had endured for more than a decade.
In addition to surpassing a record set by a Chelsea great from 2008, Rodri was a standout during the game, setting up two assists to set up goals for Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.
Even though Erik ten Hag’s team lost in the end, the Dutch manager insisted that his team “are really progressing” and praised the Red Devils for their “togetherness,” praising Marcus Rashford in particular for his incredible goal.
The England striker gave the Red Devils the lead after just eight minutes with a fantastic long-range strike that put the visitors ahead 1-0.
Erling Haaland missed a clear opportunity shortly before halftime, but the visitors managed to fend off the attacks of their local rivals.
After Man City’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United, Rodri broke an amazing record set by a Chelsea icon.
After Erik ten Hag’s team had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first half, Manchester City also shattered a 10-year record held by the Red DEvils.
Marcus Rashford’s incredible strike from outside the box had given the visitors the lead.
But in the second half, Foden scored a magnificent goal of his own, curling the ball into the top-left corner of Andre Onana’s goal from outside the penalty area. Pep Guardiola’s team responded.
He added another after that, and in injury time, Erling Haaland’s goal completed the 3-1 triumph, moving City to within one point of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
However, prior to Sunday’s loss against City, United had not lost a game after leading 1-0 at the half since September 2014, when they were defeated 5-3 by Leicester. This ended their 10-year run of being unbeaten in 143 games when leading at the half, having won 123 of those games and drawing 20.
Rodri smashed another record, though, one that was set sixteen years ago by former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho.
The defender for the Blues astonishingly participated in fifty-eight Chelsea games without experiencing a loss for his team from November 2006 to February 2008.
However, with City’s victory on Sunday, Rodri has now surpassed that statistic, having won all 59 of his games while wearing the City blue uniform.
The fact that the Spaniard has missed all three of Guardiola’s team’s Premier League losses this season may speak volumes about how important he is to this City team.
On Sunday, Foden was the star of City, with Guardiola hailing the forward as a “already legendary player” despite Rodri breaking Carvalho’s record.
143 – Manchester United’s run of 143 consecutive games in which they were leading at halftime in the competition came to an end when they lost a Premier League match in which they led at halftime for the first time since September 2014 against Leicester (5-3). (W123 D20). Pursuing.
