City recover after Khusanov blunder

ERLING Haaland was on target in the second half as Manchester City turned things around against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland and Phil Foden spared the blushes of new team-mate Abdukodir Khusanov as Manchester City came from behind to beat Chelsea 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
Uzbekistan defender Khusanov had been brought in this week from Lens on a £33.6million deal – but made a nightmare start in the Premier League with an error which led to an early Chelsea goal and then also a booking inside the opening four minutes.
Noni Madueke took full advantage of the mistake to put the visitors ahead, after Khusanov had missed a bouncing ball and then completely fluffed an attempted back-header to Ederson.
Josko Gvardiol equalised before the break and Haaland then swept City ahead after lobbing Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez before Foden put the result beyond doubt with a late third.
The win sees Pep Guardiola’s side move back above Chelsea into the top four – and raised spirits after their midweek capitulation at Paris St Germain.
