Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland at the Etihad was a major blow to their Premier League title hopes. Despite an early goal from Fernandinho, the Citizens were sluggish and unconvincing throughout, especially in midfield — an area clearly suffering from Yaya Touré’s absence.
Summary of Key Moments:
-
2′ – Fernandinho gives City the lead; perfect start.
-
73′ & 83′ – Connor Wickham stuns City with a brace, exploiting defensive lapses.
-
88′ – Samir Nasri salvages a point late, but it’s not enough.
This draw means City failed to capitalize on their game in hand, leaving Liverpool in firm control of the title race. City now face mounting pressure, needing to win all their remaining games and hoping for slip-ups from their rivals.
