Pep Guardiola’s side raced into a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord on Tuesday night, but late goals from Anis Hadj-Moussa, Santiago Gimenez and David Hancko condemned the Cityzens to a disappointing draw at the Etihad Stadium.

The result means Man City have failed to win in each of their last six games, although the 3-3 draw has at least ended the worst losing streak of Guardiola’s managerial career.

In the process, Man City have made Champions League history by becoming the first team to lead a match by three goals as late as the 75th minute and still fail to win.

Furthermore, it is the first time during his career in the dugout in which a Guardiola team has squandered a three-goal lead.

Man City 3-3 Feyenoord

Erling Haaland put Man City 1-0 up from the penalty spot, before an Ilkay Gundogan strike and a second from Haaland looked to have earned Guardiola’s side a crucial three points as they seek automatic promotion into the Champions League last-16.

However, a late collapse at the Etihad Stadium saw the reigning Premier League champions extend their current winless run to six matches in all competitions.
