Man City throw away 3-0 lead to draw with Feyenoord
Manchester City blow a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League as their wretched form continues at a stunned Etihad Stadium.

They are now winless in six European matches (D4 L2), their joint longest ever such run (also a run of six without a win between 1980-1983).

Arms folded but white teeth on show, Foden was one of four goalscorers on the pitch for Manchester City.
Wednesday night was just his fourth start in the nine games he has featured in. City have played 12 - so where has he been?
"It's nice to start and score," he told BBC Radio Manchester.
"I'm enjoying my football again. Obviously it's been a slow start for me. Every player goes through it, but I’m back now.
"Even last year I started slow. There's not been a big difference. A bit of fatigue coming back from last season, illness, a few niggles as well. It's a few things added together."
He is not wrong. After nine games for City last season, he had just one goal - he has got two in his first nine this campaign.
"Any player has been through the ups and downs of football. It was just a bump in the road," Foden added.
Although he admitted being still some way off his best, hinting at 'burnout' and drawing comparisons with Rodri, Foden is now hoping for a run of games to get his form and fitness back to the high standards of last year, which saw him finish with his best ever goal tally for the club in a season.
He signed off with one simple sentence: "I'm definitely happy."

Here are some of your comments:
Paul: It was a good result in the end. I'm glad to see Nathan Ake back in action and the squad rotation is working. We should have seen it off in the first half.
Ken: I thought City showed great patience against yet another massed defence. Once the second goal went in, the spaces opened up and Sparta Prague couldn't live with them.
Neil: For me, Matheus Nunes was man of the match. He made a fantastic contribution from a position that he doesn't usually play in, out on the left side.
Adrian: The scoreline looks good for City. However, not to pour cold water on Erling Haaland's goal, but his foot was high and he had no sight of where he was putting his foot in a tight area - surely that is not to be condoned. He didn't look at where the other players were and he showed disregard for their safety.
Whether Manchester United are back on track after their comeback Premier League win over Brentford is yet to be seen, but the three points seem to have eased the pressure on Erik ten Hag and his team.
But have United fans' expectations of the standards they expect from their side been lowered because of the difficult start to the season?
That is what The Devils' Advocate team have been asking in this week's podcast.

Manchester City put five past Sparta Prague in the Champions League on Wednesday, scoring three goals in less than 10 minutes.
One player who was crucial to City's improved second-half performance was winger Savinho. The Brazilian's hard work paid off when he assisted Erling Haaland's eye-catching acrobatic goal.
Image source, Getty ImagesChristian Eriksen feels he has seen improvement in Manchester United since their Europa League draw with FC Twente and comments he made after the match were "in the heat of the moment".
The midfielder said it "looked like they wanted it more" after the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw with the Dutch side in their opening game of the competition.
The match came in a difficult spell for the team which saw the pressure increase on manager Erik ten Hag.
United's comeback win against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday has eased the pressure and the side will be hoping to take that confidence into Thursday's match with Fenerbahce as they look for their first Europa League victory of the season.
Asked about his previous comments in the pre-match news conference, Eriksen said: "Yes, I think we have [seen improvement].
"When you draw or lose, the confidence is down a bit. When I spoke it was in the heat of the moment. It felt like a loss but since then our group is getting together and we have played some good games since.
"Winning games is the aim and that is what we are going for."
The Denmark international is currently in the final year of his contract at United and could leave as a free agent in the summer.
He struggled for playing time last season but he has managed to regain his place and would be open to signing a new deal if one was offered.
"It’s not really up to me when my contract runs out, it’s up to the club," he said.
"I have really enjoyed my time at the club and still do. When the summer comes, if the offer is there, I will definitely take it seriously."
Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Radio 5 Live reporter Conor McNamara had high praise for Erling Haaland, who scored another acrobatic delight against Sparta Prague on Wednesday.
"I've just never seen a goal like it!" McNamara said. "He jumps up with the athleticism of an NBA basketball player, his heel is above head height of everyone else - but it's not dangerous because he's not swinging it around - and he donkey kicks it into the back of the goal.
"A remarkable, eye catching goal. And quite frankly, the type of goal that only he can score."
