manchester city and manchester united disappointing game continues liverpool strengthens its lead at top

Manchester. Erling Haaland’s failure at the penalty spot and Bruno Fernandes’ red card increased the problems for the two Premier League giants Manchester City and Manchester United while Liverpool did not face any such problem against Leicester. Liverpool came back from a goal down to win 3-1 over Leicester in a match played in fog at Anfield. With this victory, the team has strengthened its position at first place in the points table with a lead of seven points.

Liverpool has 42 points from 17 matches while second-placed Chelsea has 35 points from 18 matches. City were forced to share the points after playing out a 1–1 draw at home to Everton. In the 53rd minute of the match, Holland’s spot kick was brilliantly defended by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. The four-time defending champions have managed just one win in their last 13 matches in all competitions.

City’s team is struggling at seventh place in the table while Manchester United’s situation is worse. After the 0-2 defeat to Wolverhampton, the team has fallen further behind in the table to 14th place. United captain Fernandes received a second yellow card in the 47th minute. After he left the field, the team had to play almost the entire second half with 10 players.
