Huddersfield`s `Terriers` continue to occupy the 20th position with just 11 points.Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero, and Raheem Sterling started at the Manchester United attack today. The hosts also relied on an offensive trio in the face of Isaac Mbenza, Adam Johnson, and Elias Kachunga.
Sergio Aguero created the first danger for the home team after the third minute went into the penalty area and the home defense failed to stop him, but the Argentine striker shot away from the goal. In the 13th minute, Raheem Sterling claimed a penalty for a penalty. TV repetitions have shown that Terence Kongolo actually acted improperly against Sterling and referee Andre Marriner made a mistake in this situation.
In the 18th minute Danilo attempted a stroke outside the penalty area to Huddersfield`s door, the ball departed from the body of Christopher Schindler from the hosts and flashed goalkeeper Jonas Lossl, then knocked the net - 0:1. Ilkay Gundogan could make the score 0:2 in the 40th minute. He received the ball into the penalty area in a very good position, but his shot did not hit the target.
Nine minutes after the break Sterling made the score 0:2. He hit the ball with his head in the Terriers' door after centering to Leroy Sane`s left. It should be noted, however, that Sane appeared to be in an ambush position when handing over to the German, but this was not counted on by the judges. In the ambush was initially Sterling. Only two minutes later, Sane realized a new hit. He found himself in an excellent position in front of the home side and overcame Jonas Lossl, ending the intrigue at the meeting.
In the 82nd minute, the reserve Steve Mounie fired head after a centering right, but the guard of Man City Ederson was not impeded. In the last few seconds of the duel, Mounie had a perfect chance to score the consolation for the Terriers, but made a big omission, and Pep Guardiola`s team congratulated them with a classical victory that was obligatory for the champions.
