导出博客文章GLASGOW, Scotland -- Manchester City came from behind three times to draw 3-3 at
Celtic in a Champions League thriller on Wednesday that ended the English teams
100 percent start to the season under new coach Pep Guardiola.Citys winning run
to open the campaign stopped at 10 games in all competitions -- one short of
matching the English record -- in a Group C match littered with poor defending
by both teams at Parkhead.Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling scored equalizers for
City in an action-packed first half after Celtic went ahead twice through Moussa
Dembele, in the third minute, and Sterlings own goal in the 20th.Dembele
restored Celtics lead barely a minute into the second half after Aleksandar
Kolarovs defensive error, only for Nolito to equalize for City in the 55th.City
had previously won six matches in the Premier League, three in the Champions
League between the group stage and qualifying, and one in the English League Cup
with a series of free-scoring displays. That put the team within sight of
Tottenhams 11 straight wins to start the season in the 1960-61 campaign.Its OK,
its one point, we didnt lose, said Guardiola, whose team faces former club
Barcelona in back-to-back matches next.I am pretty sure the players didnt think
they were going to win every game this season. It is impossible. Not even the
best team in the world (could do that).City went behind for the first time under
Guardiola and also conceded more than once for the first time under the
Spaniard.Celtic -- thrashed 7-0 by Barcelona in its first group game -- pressed
high and forced errors in possession from City, whose defense was shambolic at
times without rested John Stones and injured captain Vincent Kompany.Every time
we went forward, we looked like we could score, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers
said.The first example came inside three minutes. James Forrest was left
unmarked at the far post from a diagonal free kick and his volleyed cross was
glanced goalward by Erik Sviatchenko, with the ball deflecting off Dembele into
the net.Fernandinho equalized in the 12th minute when a wayward shot from
Kolarov fell into the path of the midfielder, who controlled and dribbled a
left-footed shot into the corner.Back came Celtic. Kieran Tierney broke forward
down the left and his cross took a deflection off a sliding Sterling and
ricocheted into the net at Claudio Bravos near post.Sterling made immediate
amends after Celtic lost possession in central midfield. David Silva played a
slide-rule pass behind the defense to Sterling, who turned back inside a
defender and slipped a low shot past goalkeeper Craig Gordon in the 28th.Celtics
third goal also came from a City error, this time by Kolarov, who completely
missed the ball as he attempted a clearance from a left-wing cross. Dembele
reacted by hooking a shot over his shoulder and into the bottom corner.Still the
hosts couldnt keep the lead. Silva played in Sergio Aguero, his shot was parried
out by Gordon and Nolito scored from the rebound.After that, it was all City,
with Fernandinho shooting just over and Ilkay Gundogan having a deflected shot
saved in the final minutes.Im happy with the reaction from the players,
Guardiola said. Its not easy to score three goals away. I dont know how many
chances they had after the third goal. We should have won it.City, a Champions
League semifinalist last season, opened group play by beating Borussia
Moenchengladbach 4-0.
