Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United on Saturday, a result that followed Wednesday\u2019s defeat by Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.<\/p>\n
Bernardo Silva opened the scoring in the 31st minute. He made an overlapping run around Omar Marmoush, who fed him a diagonal ball towards the corner of West Ham\u2019s box. Silva chipped the ball past the fingertips of Mads Hermansen to put City ahead.<\/p>\n
The lead lasted four minutes. Gianluigi Donnarumma misread the flight of West Ham\u2019s corner kick and the floating ball found the head of Konstantinos Mavropanos to level the score.<\/p>\n
City pressed late but could not find a winner. In the final 10 minutes the visitors produced nine shots and four corner kicks. City are now nine points behind league leaders Arsenal and are deeper in trouble after earlier dropping points to Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Erling Haaland remains without a goal since Feb. 11 across all competitions. He spent much of the match surrounded by maroon shirts and appeared largely peripheral for the first 70 minutes. City took 15 corner kicks, many aimed at the 6’5 forward on the goal line, but Haaland created one real chance and had a single shot on frame, becoming more involved only in the final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
