Vlahovic sparks Juventus to leave Manchester City deep in trouble in Champions League
Champions League: Juventus 2 Manchester City 0’s pizzazz. It was absent here again, in the latest moping performance that has become the odd, yet recognisable face of Pep Guardiola’s formerly supreme team.
It did not work and instead Juventus sealed a precious win thanks to Dusan Vlahovic’s 53rd-minute header and a second goal that came on the break when Timothy Weah flipped the ball in from the right and Weston McKennie thundered a volley home.Eileen Gleeson to leave role as Ireland manager as FAI decide not to offer new contract
It featured Ilkay Gündogan’s craft as the holding midfielder, and Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish as twin playmakers. It had, too, Rico Lewis at left-back and his defensive fragility was exposed more than once, as when Francisco Conceição outmuscled him and Juve earned a corner. City prosper when they pounce, tiger-like, and they remembered this for a fleeting moment. Doku scampered infield, De Bruyne read his run, fashioned an underlap, possession was delivered, and a rapid cross caused Juve to fling bodies at the ball to clear.
His next act was the hands-above-the-head clap used for over-encouragement and certainly apt following Walker blasting a short pass to De Bruyne straight out. Up went Guardiola’s arms and the flat pattern of City’s play continued.
