Their defence was terrified....

Poor Arnold. The highlight doesn't show just how clueless he was at stopping Sané.

Let’s be honest could and should have been a red.

Eerily identical to the one that got him sent off against united in the FA Cup.

Let’s be honest could and should have been a red.

No way. Perfectly timed tackle. At most a yellow (It wasn't two footed). One foot sprung him forward and the other was used to stop the ball. Watch the replay,it wasn't like lunging in with both feet.

Bloody stressful, I know that! :)

That’s what makde it all worthwhile when we did it!

Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, Leroy, Stones and Sergio had the game of their lives, Sterling should have made it 3-1 late on, and the noise from the crowd was ear popping.

I remember early into the game, Fernandinho took a loose touch and battered into a 50/50 with Robertson elbow-first. Was a thing of tempo-setting beauty.

And Doku this season. Plays for dipshits, always overatted as per last 60 years.

One of those games where you have to have a 10 minute sit down afterwards to collect your thoughts, proper intense!!!

Totally agree and personally I have never swore so much in my life! I will always want to beat united but the rivalry with Liverpool makes it a must-win game everytime. After that game I don't think I calmed down for days!

This was one great game and for my money the best match of the decade. I've seen better displays but never such a high quality, hard fought contest and we won it deservedly. Before the match we were 7 points behind, I think, and the feeling was that anything but a City win would hand the title to Liverpool. The rest of the season showed how true that was! But City were superb! Even without Walker, Gundogan and KdB!! I don't know what my heart rate was at the final whistle but I didn't stop dancing around (the elephant tango?) for ages and for weeks afterwards I watched the highlights every day. What the players felt like god only knows but I think I'm right in saying that we only lost one League match and won all the others until the title was sealed. Marvellous! Unbelievable! Typical City?

Bernardo that night though.

What’s incredible to me is that we had 3 all time greats in that Team who no longer play for us (Vinny, Sergio, David) and still remain the best team in the land (and now all the world of course)
