The incident, which has gone viral on social media, shows Trafford, instead of clearing the danger, attempting a risky pass within his own area. The ball was intercepted by Joao Palhinha, who made no mistake and put the score at 0-2.

Today's play has brought to light a question that has been rumored for weeks: should City seek a more experienced goalkeeper in the final days of the market to ensure stability in the goal?

With the transfer window closing soon, time is running out, and all eyes are on City's management. Trafford's mistake has not only cost a goal but has opened Pandora's box of a need that could be crucial for the club's success this season.
