‘It was our own fault’ - Ederson says City players deserve blame for Lyon loss

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson claims he and his team-mates are to blame for their surprise defeat to Lyon in the Champions League.

With Pep Guardiola absent due to a touchline ban from last year’s Champions League, the Premier League holders faced the Ligue 1 side at home with Mikel Arteta in charge.

Despite Guardiola’s absence, City were expected to take of business only to be shocked as Maxwell Cornet and Nabil Fekir gave the visitors a 2-0 lead by the half.

A Bernardo Silva goal in the second half brought City back within striking distance, but was not enough as the hosts fell to a shock 2-1 defeat.
