Unai Emery was forced to deploy Stephan Lichsteiner through the defensive part of right flank after Hector Bellerin's long term injury and Ainsley Maitland-Niles picking up a knock in the previous game against Cardiff City.

With Leroy Sane getting dropped to the bench, Raheem Sterling played through the left wing. It is always going to mark someone like Sterling who has superior speed and agility when compared to many other players in the league.

The English International was constantly tormenting the 35-year-old Switzerland International who would want to forget this day as soon as possible.

Besides, Pep Guardiola decided to overload that part of the defense by utilizing David Silva and Ilkay Gundogan through that flank which helped the course for the hosts.

All the three goals which resulted in a tap in for Sergio Aguero came through the left flank for the Citizens. The hard work done by the midfielders has been totally undone by their own player who never looked authoritative.
