Erling Haaland had given the Blues a 1-0 advantage at half-time with a coolly-taken penalty, and Ilkay Gundogan quickly added to the scoreline after the break. When Haaland turned in a third before the hour mark, Pep Guardiola's side were cruising. However, more defensive errors bubbled up towards the end of the match to allow Feyenoord to score not once but twice to set up a nervy finish and a third goal in 14 minutes silenced the Etihad with just five minutes left to play. City were unable to respond and here is how the players rated. ALSO READ: Man City vs Feyenoord as it happened ALSO READ: Objects thrown as Man City and Feyenoord fans clash during Champions League tie Ederson: Alert when he needed to be, keeping his cool whenever there was a slip from his defenders until he ruined it by charging out rashly for the third. 5 Lewis: Earned Guardiola's frustration early on and while he was much improved on Saturday he still could not prevent the equaliser. 5 Akanji: Made a few errors that nearly let Feyenoord in but is surely nailed for a start at Anfield on the basis he can play 90 minutes. 5 Ake: A welcome sight on the pitch, even if he hasn't completed 90 minutes yet this season. 6 Gvardiol: Another two errors leading to goals won't do his confidence any good. 4 Gundogan: Scored one and helped tee another one up, but he remains a worry defensively in the holding role. 6 Nunes: Quiet in the first half but stepped up and was excellent for the third goal, bringing energy and a directness. 7 Foden: Worked hard and linked well but still isn't doing enough - and what he can do - in the final third. 6 Silva: Not a standout again but nobody else in the team can move so seamlessly from defensive midfield to right wing in a matter of days. 7 Grealish: Unlucky when Foden diverted his volley wide and a decent performance on his return, although he still looks destined not to score. 6 Haaland: Saw a header bounce off the post, kept his cool for the penalty and looked more confident with a classy third. 8 Substitutes Simpson-Pusey (for Ake, 68) Not a great part in the Feyenoord goal. 5 De Bruyne (for Foden, 69) Plenty of glimmers but nothing came off. 6 McAtee (for Gundogan, 69) Charged about without much luck and was booked. 5 Not used: Ortega, Carson, Walker, Dias, Wilson-Esbrand, Wright, O'Reilly, Savinhorich t 。

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet approved a temporary U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement Tuesday that will put a pause to the fighting with Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. On Tuesday, Scripps News spoke with former U.N. Ambassador and former National Security Adviser John Bolton about the agreement and its implications. Bolton said he didn't believe the agreement would cause long-lasting changes in the conflict. "The duration of the cease-fire is 60 days, meaning that it takes the government of Israel out of the Biden administration, into the Trump administration, where they expect to have a more favorable audience," Bolton said. "The provisions of the cease-fire agreement do allow Israel to take military action during this 60-day period if Hezbollah tries to infiltrate back into southern Lebanon, which I think is very highly likely." RELATED STORY | Israel's Netanyahu voices support for ceasefire deal with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon "There's some optics here, there's some American politics involved, because Netanyahu and the Israelis fear that the Biden administration may do something negative on their way out the door," Bolton told Scripps News. "I think it's a temporary accommodation and one that's really very shaky, even from the beginning." It’s not clear if the ceasefire will affect the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which is a separate conflict. Also in the interview, Bolton spoke about the possibility of new North American tariffs under the incoming Trump administration, as well as the national security implications of some of President-elect Trump's cabinet nominations.
