Manchester City were beaten by AC Milan at the Yankee Stadium - yet may have discovered a new first team starter after two games of their pre-season tour.
The Yankee Stadium came to see a Norwegian superstar on Saturday. They got their wish, but maybe not the one they expected.
Bobb gained a reputation last season for his ability to wriggle out of tight situations, and now he's reminding everyone of his ability to get past his opponent one-on-one that he developed in the academy. Timely, given Guardiola has talked up Savinho and Jeremy Doku's prowess in that area. Just like against Celtic, Bobb delighted the crowd by dropping a shoulder, finding an extra yard of pace and playing the ball into Haaland's path to slot home.
However, Guardiola was gesturing wildly on the pitch soon after at his young full-backs. He was unhappy when Celtic scored three identical goals in North Carolina and dropped Kalvin Phillips as a result. Here, twice Samuel Chukwueze squeezed a cross through Rico Lewis and Callum Doyle, twice Lorenzo Colombo got a shot away at the back post, and twice Ederson somehow let the ball through his body. Friendly or not, the manager wasn't happy.
Micah Hamilton, on at the break, set up the leveller for McAtee to get off the mark. He is another, like Bobb, who will do his chances no harm by getting among the goals this month - and is also justifying Guardiola's transfer stance.
