Bernardo Silva he said Manchester City “he played like an under-15 player” in the final stages of the match Manchester United after being out of shape First league the champions were relegated to A a dismal 2-1 derby defeat on Sunday.
City seemed to be heading for a much-needed victory at the Etihad Stadium before a series of errors occurred late on, including: Bruno Fernandes he scored a penalty in the 88th minute before Amad Diallo won in stoppage time.
Both goals were the result of sloppy City defending, especially after the first possession Mateusz Nunes he gave the ball back and then punched Diallo into the penalty area.
The defeat means City have won just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions, continuing the club’s worst run of form since 2006.
“We deserved what happened,” Silva told Sky Sports. “At this level, a game or two is unlucky. We can’t say it’s good luck or bad luck – 10 games is not the point.
“87th minute in the derby, winning 1-0 and our corner ends in a penalty for them, if we make these stupid decisions with three or four minutes left, you deserve to pay for it. Looking at the match, I think there was only one team that could have won the match, but in the end we lost.
“It’s not one match, lately it’s been many matches. We have to look at ourselves. You could say it’s a bit unlucky, no. These are the decisions you make. Today in the last minute we played like U-15 players.”
