In the headline clash of Premier League matchday 23, Manchester City faced Chelsea. The game marked the debut of two of City’s winter signings, Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov.
For the Uzbek defender, the start of his debut turned into a nightmare.
Details: During the sequence leading to Noni Madueke’s goal, Khusanov mishit a header while attempting to play the ball back, essentially gifting possession to the opposition. Just a minute later, the defender was booked for a rough foul on Cole Palmer.
Reminder: The 20-year-old Uzbek joined Manchester City from Lens for €40 million. He made his debut wearing the No. 45 shirt, playing in the heart of City’s defense.
