Really good line up, good to see the Laird/Garner injuries weren't as bad as first feared. McAtee used to play for us didn't he? Supposedly their "Ryan Giggs" moment when he left us to join them.

Yeah glad to see Garner is back. Looks like Laird is playing CB with Puigmal of course at RB.

Anyone got a decent stream for this? I can't find one anywhere.

Greenwood fouled really hard

Puigmal received the ball and drove through the middle and found McCan on the left edge of the box who gets fouled for a pen

Pen scored by Levitt

1-0 United

Not a good performance from Garner thus far, though he only just came back from injury.

We’ve been just about the better team but not really creating many chances.

Williams gives away a penalty to City, shame really because he’s had a decent game otherwise. They score to make it 1-1.

Another penalty for City and booking, this time Laird gives it away, both United full backs booked. Fiorini scores again to make it 2-1.

City lead 2-1 at half time, we’re giving them way too much time in midfield.

Good work from Mellor and Greenwood to make it 2-2, against the run of play it has to be said.

Traore very nearly makes it 3-2 but his shot goes just wide, we’re playing much better since the goal.

Another penalty but this time to United. Levitt scores to make it 3-2, honestly don’t think that was a penalty at all but keeper spilled it after the contact which made it look like he didn’t get a touch on it.

Greenwood forces an astounding save from the City keeper.

City score again, 3-3, game on.

Bit like the senior team City are allowed to use their bodies consistently without punishment whereas United are booked for every foul, absolute bollocks really.

Don't like how we moved Greenwood and Mellor back to their original spots. Greenwood as the 9 was working brilliant for United in the 2nd half. Traore has been immense in the 2nd half. I quite like Puigmal as a player even though he doesn't feel quite right at RB.

Wasn't Puigmal a midfielder when we brought him in?

Good game,let them play a bit to much in my opinion.I like the look of Levitt in midfield with Garner although Garner was a bit lazy today.

Any compilation of Greenwood? Even though he didn't score, I thought he showed his quality even though he showed a bit of selfishness (which I don't mind every now and then at this level). His ability to link up play with his back to goal and ability to turn on defenders with his back to goal was consistently great again.
