Manchester City's Dramatic Victory 2-1 Against Luton Town Even Without Haaland
JAKARTA - Manchester City ended a series of unwinned results in the Premier League after successfully rising from behind and winning 2-1 against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, Sunday, December 10.
In this match, without Erling Haaland missing from a leg injury, the Premier League defending champion looked struggling when he fell behind by Luton Town's goal. However, Pep Guardiola's team managed to find a way to get back on track.
Two goals in three minutes of the second half, scored by Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish, managed to turn things around in an initially difficult match for City. Despite dominating possession, City struggled to find cohesiveness in attack lines without Haaland.
