Soccer: Defending champions Manchester City knocked out of Club World Cup

# Soccer: Defending champions Manchester City were knocked out at the last-16 stage of the Club World Cup when they were stunned by Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in extra time. Pep Guardiola’s side had come through the group stages unscathed but failed to reach the quarter-finals after conceding four goals in a haphazard defensive display. Al-Hilal produced a remarkable performance to win 4-3 at the Camping Stadium in Orlando in the USA, and will now face Brazilian side Fluminense in Friday’s quarter-final.
