The 28th round of the English Premier League was opened by the teams fighting for third place - “Nottingham Forest” and “Manchester City”.
Although Josep Guardiola’s team dominated throughout the match, the victory went to the “Foresters”. The hosts took advantage of the free zone between Yoshko Guardiola and Ederson and scored the winning goal.
Abdukodyr Khusanov also played his full part in this match. Our legionnaire was one of the best players on the field.
Experts from the cityxtra.co.uk portal, which covers English football, assessed the actions of the “City” team on a 10-point scale as follows.
Ederson – 5:
In the 66th minute of the match, Callum Hudson-Odoi saved a dangerous shot. However, in the next situation, the striker scored a goal into the goalkeeper's near corner.
Mateus Nunes – 6:
He could not fully justify the trust placed in him. He made several questionable decisions. He played better in midfield than in defense. As a result, he gave way to Rico Lewis.
Abdukadir Khusanov – 8:
Khusanov continues to amaze everyone and has become Manchester City's best player on the field. In general, the Uzbek player has become a trusted defender for Josep Guardiola since his arrival in January, thanks to his reliable defensive play.
In the match against Nottingham Forest, we also saw Abdukadir take the ball away from him, defend confidently, and make a series of long-range passes. Opponent forwards Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood were unable to get past Khusanov at all.
Ruben Dias – 7:
He acted confidently and calmly. He could not stop Hudson-Odoi when the goal was scored.
Yoshko Guardiola – 7:
He could not provide sufficient resistance to the opponent's attacker when the opponent scored. However, he was also active in organizing the attack throughout the match. He organized various combinations on the left wing with Doku, Savinho, and Silva.
Bernardo Silva – 6.5:
At first, he could not break through the opponent's defense on his own wing. After Kevin de Bruyne entered the field, his game opened up.
Nico Gonzalez – 6:
He tried to stop the Foresters in the middle of the field. But he was far from reaching the level of the Ballon d'Or winner Rodri.
Savino – 6:
The center forward could not make a single pass to Erling Haaland.
Phil Foden – 6:
He had a chance to score early in the game. However, Foden has been "disappearing" in the games lately.
Jeremy Doku – 7:
One of the brightest players in the Manchester City attack line could not use his skills this time.
Erling Haaland – 6.5:
The Norwegian striker could not get past the opponent's defenders. His attempts were ineffective and he left the field empty-handed.
Rico Lewis – 6:
Coming off the bench, he took a position on the right wing. However, his efforts were also insufficient to break through the opponent's defense.
Mateo Kovacic – 6.5:
Came close to saving his team from defeat at the end of the game. His shot deflected wide as it approached the goalpost.
Kevin De Bruyne – 6:
As soon as he entered the field, he began to organize his team's attacks. However, the "Forest" defended well that day.
Umar Marmush – 6.5:
It was revealed that he had joined the game. He tried to create a chance for Haaland to score.
It is worth noting that after this defeat, Manchester City missed the opportunity to move up to third place. Until the end of the season, Josep Guardiola's men have to fight to keep their place in the places that qualify for the European Champions League. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
