The talking points as Manchester City faced Young Boys at the Wankdorf Stadium in the Champions League.
Erling Haaland hadn't scored in his previous six European matches for Manchester City, and it looked like his goalless run may continue at Young Boys when he spurned three good chances on a frustrating night in general for City's attackers. When Rodri was tapped on the ankle for a fortunate penalty, Haaland was never going to miss for his first Champions League goal of the season from his 16th shot.
In the opening minutes, Nunes fired a close range effort straight at the goalkeeper, and later stumbled over a spill at the keeper's feet to fail to take advantage on the goalline. He sent another well-placed effort over the bar in the second half. Guardiola won't be too bothered about Nunes missing chances - by his own admission he isn't in the team to score - but he may be a little disappointed by the midfielder's sloppy link-up with Haaland and poor positioning.
City should have been out of sight in the first half, missing at least six presentable chances, and then when they finally got themselves ahead they threw the lead away. Erling Haaland's fortunate penalty earned three points - but the whole evening was made to look far harder than it should have been on the balance of play.
