Pep made a good point in his post-match interview.
Sunderland won a few unnecessary corners towards the end, mainly through City taking their foot off the gas. They didn’t come to anything, but on another day, we might have suffered.
I thought Sunderland looked more energetic for the first 20 minutes, whilst City were slow, lethargic, and hesitant. The ball was bouncing off Aguero and Sterling, and I wondered if there was an issue with a bumpy pitch.
Different story in the second half and it was strange that after scoring a fantastic goal, Aguero wasn’t in the same place for crosses from Sterling and Sane.
