JUVE PILE ON PAIN FOR PEP

Keeper blunders as City lose for seventh time in 10 games

- Simon Mullock

ANOTHER Champions League howler by goalkeeper Ederson plunged Pep Guardiola deeper into hell.

Just two weeks after the Brazilian paid the price for the late collapse against Feyenoord that opened up the prospect of the 2023 winners having to navigate a play-off for a place in the last 16, he blundered again.

The recalled Ederson’s nervy night saw him allow a 53rd-minute header by Dusan Vlahovic bounce off his chest and over the line as Manchester City slumped to their seventh defeat in 10 games.

Former Leeds flop Weston McKennie then came off the bench to add a second goal with a thumping volley City have collected just eight points from their six games in the rejigged Champions League and are down in 22nd spot. Next up is the Manchester derby on Sunday.

This is not the Juve team of Baggio, Zidane or Del Piero.
