Get in! What a wonderful feeling. Garnacho changed the game. Shaw and Varane superb at the back. Bruno with some decisive moments. GGMU!

An even first half and good performances across the board (Martial excepted). The second was rough in terms of possession. A draw looked out of the question.

This is what happens when refs don't get involved with Peps teams bullshit.

The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

I missed the first half

Thought game was done at 75 minutes

Excellent turn around. Sub by EtH for Garnacho was inspired. Antony was... Less inspired.

I don't understand offside again. I'll take it though.

Why do they show SAF only after we concede?

Pep was right after all, we are good

City's xG only 0.65.

One of the best defensive performances I can remember from the last few seasons.

They really didn't create much at all.

Absolutely grinning from ear to ear - buzzing !!!!! But, sadly the real test is whether we can do win away from home against Palace.

What a game. Fred brilliant. Varane brilliant. Shaw brilliant.

I do understand City anger. I would be to. But we have been on wrong side. It is wierd rules.

Deserved that one!

Overall a tactically great game. Sure we had a period in the 2nd half when they were on top but other than goal they werent dangerous and we looked dangerous on the counter throughout.

Love how they're mad about the 1st goal.

ETH is doing wonders with this team, absolute wonders.

Onwards and upwards!

Amazing result, one of the first times since SAF I've been somewhat comfortable when behind knowing we'd create something, I didn't think we'd win though, love it, ETH is the man!

Deserved. We were the better side for pretty much all but 20 minutes at the start of the second half. Eriksen looked particularly exposed out there, we looked like a different team once the changes were made.

Absolutely brilliant ! Well deserved. We had by far the better chances. They didn’t have a sniff but the goal.

They will cry about the equalizer but it was deserved. Nothing sweeter after watching them fall like dead leaves for nothing and cry all day long.

Can’t understand the pessimism. Is it because of the way it ended up when we went to Etihad in October?

We won against this lot even under Ole. And not just once but multiple times too. Home & away.

Don’t be afraid; we’ll win this one and I feel it’ll be in an entertaining fashion. Won’t be a dull game.
Never in doubt :cool:

That was an epic. Felt like watching a Hollywood trilogy. Played very well first half but didn't score, then played shit for half the second half, and then immense for that final quarter. It had everything.

Garnacho coming on was just incredible. He gave us pace up front. Changed the game. Great management from ETH.

Fecking exhausted and elated at the same time.

fecking get in there. That was brilliant defensively throughout, 2nd half til their goal we didn't play well but to respond like that against City after being behind, is massive. De Gea didn't have a save to make throughout which is pretty crazy. Fully deserved win on the balance.

Thought Rashford was injured for sure but he looked fine in the 2nd, maybe lower work rate but glad he got the winner in the end. Beautiful win.
