Deflection breaks City’s Hart
Date published: 18 September 2014
Joe Hart was left to curse his luck after a deflected last-minute strike condemned Manchester City to defeat at Bayern Munich.
England goalkeeper Hart had looked like earning City a creditable goalless draw in their Champions League opener, with a string of outstanding saves.
But Bayern pressed to the end and snatched the victory their dominance probably deserved.
Hart said: “We did okay and looked like we were going to get a result out of it, which would have been a good start to the group away against a good side. “But it was an unfortunate deflection that ended up going in, and that killed us.
“I had a bit to do, but we defended well on the whole and had a few chances.”
