Watching @ManCity 3rd goal again.
— Michael Ball (@bally03) November 12, 2018
It’s just not an unbelievable 44 passes and shows confidence and ability against a big side.
The credit the City players should take at that time of the game at 2-1 bravery to ask for the ball and not to make a mistake is just utter class!
A little bit nervy when it went to 2-1 but the brilliant 3rd with 44 passes settled it. Running out of things to say about Fernandinho and the job he does for the team. Only downside was Sergio’s hair colour which was shocking 😁
