The unwanted record Eric Bailly set during Manchester United vs Manchester City
Man United vs Man City
Manchester United and Manchester City are currently playing out the first Manchester derby of the 2021/22 season at Old Trafford.
Man United headed into the game looking to avoid a repeat of the 5-0 drubbing they received at the hands of Liverpool recently.
As a result, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, despite being without the services of Raphael Varane, opted to once again start with a 3-5-2 formation.
Man City, on the other hand, were looking to bounce back from their shock 2-0 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace last week.
Eric Bailly sets unwanted record
City began the tie in dominant fashion and would be rewarded after seven minutes when Joao Cancelo whipped in a cross from the left, which Eric Bailly pushed into his own net.
🗣 “Eric Bailly felt he had to go for it – with catastrophic results”
