Premier League 2017/18: Three things Manchester City did wrong against Manchester United

#2 A slate of missed chances

A night full of regrets for Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling has been a revelation this season. He has made some incredible runs, scored remarkable goals, and has impressed one and all with his substantially matured approach towards the game.

However, he has also been susceptible to switching off from time to time.

The Englishman had the opportunity to put the game to bed not once or twice, but three times, in the first half alone. Had he buried those chances, he might’ve been remembered as a hero who won his side the Premier League, against the enemy, Manchester United.

Instead, the day will be remembered and regretted by him. He could’ve taken the scoreline to 3-0 through David Silva’s glorious through-ball in the 33rd minute, by latching onto another chance created by the Spaniard in the 36th minute, or by making Sane’s pass count, five minutes later.

However, neither of those chances were converted into a goal. Instead, they will now serve as three painful reminders of what could’ve been for the Men in Blue.
