Ajax 3-1 Man City

Manchester City's Champions League
hopes were dealt another massive
blow in Amsterdam where Ajax came
from behind to beat the reigning
English champions 3-1.
Although Sami Nasri gave the visitors a
22nd minute lead, against the run of
play, the Dutch side held their nerve to
clinch a well-deserved victory in Group
D.
The result leaves City at the base of the
table with just a single point from
three games.
Christian Eriksen had a couple of fierce
shots for Ajax on Joe Hart's goal
before Nasri broke the deadlock.
Micah Richards fed James Milner who
slipped the ball into the path of the
advancing Nasri and the Frenchman
brilliantly curled it past Kenneth
Vermeer from 16 yards.
However Ajax drew level a minute
before the interval when Ricardo van
Rhijn's low cross was clinically
dispatched into the bottom right-hand
corner by Siem de Jong from 18 yards.
And 12 minutes after the break, Niklas
Moisander headed Ajax in front from
Eriksen's corner.
Sweden playmaker Eriksen added a
third (67), although his 22-yard effort
needed a substantial deflection off
Gael Clichy to beat Hart.
Hart denied Tobias Sana a few minutes
later as City threatened to cave in,
while Edin Dzeko missed a decent
chance for the visitors before the end.
