A complete failure. Manchester City has matched a disappointing achievement from 68 years ago
Manchester City once again shocked the football community. On Saturday, November 23, Pep Guardiola’s men had nothing to oppose Tottenham Hotspur.
The "Citizens" suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at home, a result not seen in England for a long time. Moreover, Guardiola, the current champions' coach, lost five matches in a row for the first time in his career.
According to the analytical portal Opta Joe, Manchester City repeated Chelsea's unfortunate record. They became the first defending English champions to lose five consecutive matches in all competitions since Chelsea in March 1956.
After another disappointing defeat, City remained in second place but risked falling behind Liverpool by a full eight points. To prevent this, Arne Slot's men must beat modest Ipswich Town tomorrow.
