Manchester United legend slams Manchester City stars for their defeat against Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester United legend has slammed Manchester City stars for ignoring Erling Haaland’s runs during their defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Manchester City lost to Tottenham Hotspur by one goal to nil in a closely contested game on Sunday.

Former Man United superstar Gary Neville pointed out the mistakes of some of the Man City stars to find the runs of Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, these mistakes resulted in a loss for The Cityzens against Tottenham Hotspur.

Moreover, Pep Guardiola’s men failed to capitalize on the golden opportunity to close down the five-point gap at the top. Meanwhile, league leaders Arsenal presented City with an opportunity to reduce the gap as they lost to Everton on Saturday.

However, Harry Kane crushed Man City’s hopes as he netted the only goal in the match in the 15th minute. Guardiola’s troops failed to score an equalizer even after getting a lot of opportunities.

Neville blames Man City stars for the defeat

Gary Neville during his commentary duty for Sky Sports cited how Man City players failed to get the best out of Haaland. He said:

“He is making the runs, ready to go, they are just not playing them. The amount of runs he makes that get ignored is incredible.”

As a result, the 22-year-old striker had a poor game due to the lack of services. The Norwegian completed just 12 passes and registered zero shots in the entire 90 minutes.

Moreover, he created only one chance and won three duels in the match. His quiet game contributed majorly to the loss of Man City.

Meanwhile, various football pundits have also questioned the team selection of Pep Guardiola ahead of the clash against Tottenham Hotspur. The Spanish tactician benched City’s main goal-creator Kevin de Bruyne.

So, it remains to be seen if Pep Guardiola’s team can turn things around and win the Premier League again.
