Manuel Pellegrini ponders the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Manchester City were chasing a club record of 10 consecutive wins and had to beat Burnley – second from the bottom in the table – to get there.
Should have been a done deal.
And it looked like being in the bag with early goals from David Silva and Fernandinho.
However George Boyd played spoilsport by making it 2 -1 in the second half and then 9 minutes from time Ashley Barnes made it 2 -2 .
Hence the woebegone expression on yonder Pelligrini’s face.
