Sporting v Arsenal LIVE: Result and final score as Gunners rip through hosts in Champions League

Manchester City 3-3 Feyenoord: Pep Guardiola’s team were cruising towards a long-awaited win and yet somehow contrived to throw away a three-goal lead with 16 minutes remaining:

Manchester City squandered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Dutch side Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday in another calamitous performance from Pep Guardiola’s stuttering side.

Erling Haaland bagged a brace for the hosts, but huge defensive blunders in the dying minutes saw them fall to 15th in the Champions League table on eight points.

Haaland got City on the scoresheet in the 45th minute with a blistering penalty kick past Timon Wellenreuther after he was fouled in the box.

Ilkay Gundogan doubled the lead in the 50th minute with a low long-range shot that took a deflection in, before Haaland completed his brace three minutes later when he stabbed home Matheus Nunes’ cross for his 46th goal in Europe’s elite competition.

Astonishingly, Feyenoord replied with three goals inside 15 minutes, first from Anis Hadj Moussa, who pounced on a careless ball back from Josko Gvardiol in the 75th minute. Then Santiago Gimenez struck seven minutes later when he chested in Jordan Lotomba’s cross, created from another wayward Gvardiol pass.

David Hancko got the equaliser in the 89th minute when City keeper Ederson was beaten by Igor Paixao who sent a cross to Hancko to head in.

The moment Gabriel scored – and dropped the Gyokeres celebration...

Martin Keown on TNT Sports: “Timber was really impressive, Raya making eight good saves. It’s some statement. You see what Sporting did to City, so all in all a very good night for Arsenal.”

A superb performance by Arsenal, who were far too good tonight. Sporting had their moments but never really looked like turning the game around, and the penalty killed it off.

90 min: Almost No 6 for Arsenal as Trossard fires a ball across goal, but it’s slightly behind Havertz and the German can’t contort his legs to make proper contact.

86 min: Excellent by Gyokeres, who drives at Kiwior and surges by him and into the box before firing a left-footed shot against the post! Replays show Raya got the faintest touch on the ball.

85 min: Gabriel looks in a little discomfort and is replaced by Kiwior.

Sporting are easily opened up by Nwaneri driving in from the right, who lends it to Merino on the edge of the box. His fierce shot is spilled by Israel and there’s Leandro Trossard in the right place to nod home the rebound.

80 min: Zinchenko’s first involvement is to chip a ball into the feet of Havertz in Sporting’s half. Arsenal work it over to the right side where Nwaneri beats a couple of defenders before crossing low, but it’s deflected to the goalkeeper.
