Hart: ‘Disjointed’ City deserved to win
Print Edition
MANCHESTER City goalkeeper Joe Hart admitted his “disjointed” team did not play well against Borussia Moenchengladbach but insisted it deserved its 2-1 victory over the Bundesliga side in Wednesday’s Champions League match.
The Sky Blues found themselves a goal down after a 54th-minute strike from Lars Stindl but clawed their way back into the game when Nicolas Otamendi’s deflected shot found the back of the net.
City left it late as striker Sergio Aguero scored a 90th-minute penalty to give the English side its first Champions League win of the season.
Hart played a crucial role to help City bounce back from its defeat by Juventus last month, saving a 20th-minute Raffael penalty and producing several brilliant stops to frustrate ‘Gladbach in the Group D clash.
“We didn’t play well... We’re not really happy with the performance but winning puts us in a good position,” Hart told the club website.
“We were really disjointed, like in the past couple of Premier League games, we had a good half and a bad half.
“I think we deserved to win. We profited when they were a little bit tired at the end. They made a few mistakes and we kept our quality,” he added.
Hart, 28, also praised Aguero, who was the top goal-scorer in the Premier League last season, saying that the Argentine can score almost at will.
“We left it late but Kun’s a cool guy and no matter whether he’s in form or not, he will score,” the England international said.
