Three City players – Elliot Anderson, Guehi and O’Reilly – started for England, while Rodri, who spent seven years at the club, was in Spain’s XI.<\/p>\n

And three of those four players made significant errors at Wembley.<\/p>\n

First Guehi was tackled by Lamine Yamal on the edge of his own box, allowing the Spain winger to drive towards goal and slot in his side’s opener.<\/p>\n

In the second half Rodri’s late challenge on Jude Bellingham led to an England penalty, which Harry Kane struck against the crossbar after slipping.<\/p>\n

And then O’Reilly had a pass intercepted deep in his own half which led to Alex Baena’s equaliser at 2-2.<\/p>\n

On Friday, sources told BBC Sport City had been found guilty of breaking the majority of the 115 financial rules<\/a> they were accused of breaching.<\/p>\n

After a four-year investigation, the club were accused of a wide range of rule breaches centring around claims they inflated sponsorship revenue and made other “off the books” payments to circumvent financial rules between 2009 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Sanctions are yet to be announced, but repercussions could include a points deduction, expulsion from the Premier League or a huge fine.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport understands Premier League clubs are seeking legal advice<\/a> about potential compensation.<\/p>\n

England captain Kane played down any links between the charges and player mistakes, telling ITV Sport after Saturday’s game: “There was a discussion, but at the end of the day when we’re with England we kind of put club football to one side and it was no different this week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three City players – Elliot Anderson, Guehi and O’Reilly – started for England, while Rodri, who spent seven…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":628689,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-628688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=628688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/628689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=628688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=628688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=628688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
