Missing in action during the past six weeks: Manchester City’s pizzazz. It was absent here again, in the latest moping performance that has become the odd, yet recognisable face of Pep Guardiola’s formerly supreme team. Next stop in Europe will be a pivotal trip to Paris in January, with PSG also fighting for a playoff spot.
