1st goal: Great play from Silva in midfield leaving 2 for dead, and runs forward to edge of penalty box playing in AJ on the right who cuts inside, and shoots for the far post. keeper saves but the ball rebounds for Dzeko to hit home
2nd goal: Counted 14 passes starting with good work from Clichy at left back with Dzeko central to much of the move, and the killer ball played from AJ. A perfectly weighted through ball for Micah to find another perfectly weighted first time cross and Kun to tap home on the far post. A great move with the players retaining the ball under pressure and biding their time until the moment came. One and two touches mostly. A picture book goal from the training ground. 1 touch and 2 touch moving the ball at pace is what can break down a defence
3rd goal: Confident play from Dzeko in midfield trying to set up Aguero. Doesn't quite come off, but the ball breaks to Aguero in midfield and he juggles the ball twice before playing it back into the area for Silva to hit first time into the roof of the net making it impossible for a defender to block it on the line
4th goal: A bit of midfield interplay between Barry and Toure and then the ball reaches Aguero 25 yards out. The defenders instantly backs off, and Aguero takes two touches before unleashing a dipping strike direct into the corner of the goal. A very good keeper beaten by a combination of surprise and the wicked dip on the ball. Literally stunning goal.
I usually prefer team goals, but that 4th goal is my favourite.
I'd also like to say what a great game Dzeko had. He was central to nearly everything good that we did. He is a totally unselfish player who will become very popular with fans and team mates
