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.
Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski performed brilliantly by denying Phil Foden three chances in the first half, and making a spectacular save from Ruben Dias' shot after the break.
Luton appeared intelligent in defending as a single unit and took advantage of their rare attacks on the City area. In first-half injury time,ola Adebayo scored with a high header after Andros Townsend's pass, giving Luton the lead.
However, the Manchester team came back after a break through goals from Bernardo and Grealish, winning again. With this result, City are now approaching four points from the top of the Premier League standings, while Luton remains in the relegation zone.
