The point was Toney came from behind him and pulled Ake out of the way and I think caught him by surprise

How the fuck does a Premier League defender get caught by surprise, whist defending?

He didn’t pull him, he backed in to him, pushing him and stopping him from attempting to stop the through ball.

Never in doubt

Well I’ve never seen that at any away ground.
Spurs mentioned it but it was done better at Brentford than the regular opener they had.
Did you see it tonight? i was wondering if it was part of the TV game coverage.

They didn't show it on Sky to be fair mate, your right it is a bit small time. but how mint is it that it means so much to beat little old Cithe! Either way, hope you had a top night and safe journey home pal!

We’ve reached a point with this team now that if they go a goal down I’m barely arsed. I’m not saying this is the best team of the Pep era but it’s the one you can rely on the most in that situation.

All I saw was Toney out-strengthing Aké, plain & simple. I honestly can't see anything in that goal to complain about tbh...

Like you, I didn't see anything particularly wrong with their goal. So many fouls are given for nothing,but I think we would have been lucky to get that one disallowed imo. There have been 3 potential fouls leading to goals in City games recently that immediately come to mind, our ones at home to Liverpool and away at Spurs and Brentford's tonight, all 3 should have stood....as we all know 1 of them didn't ofcouse!

What did Carragher ask ?

'What's it like to win the league Phil? Screeeeeeech!'

Rashford in the Derby likes this post .. ;-)

As does Salah, in the CL game at their place.

I feel the same, especially now De Bruyne is back. Twice now we've won from conceding first and Kev's presence gives us that extra 'never say die' mentality.

No worries. Actually home already because I’m unfortunately living down south so me and the lad try and get in ad many ‘local’ away days as possible. Thanks to the lovely forum members on the ticket thread we’ve been to spurs and Brentford recently and my boy is so made up when he goes it’s a real treat to see him get stuck in.
