MOURINHO SPOILS CITY'S CORONATION

Despite my injury, I made it to the local video center thanks to Tom who kept his word and took me to witness history in the making. We are both die hard Manchester United fans and we are in a happy mood.

We just beat the best team in England who are still in contention for the coveted trophy (Clear favourites)

Awful first half performance

The first half of this game was quite awful to watch. Kompany and Gundogan had scored for a rampant City as they threatened to run riot once again at the Etihad. The defeat at Old Trafford came back to my mind. Were we going to go down like this considering this was the same team that Liverpool thrashed 3-0 during the week?
The cheers and the jibes thrown at us were loud and painful. Tom nearly lost his cool when a clueless City fan pointed similarities between Pogba's gait and Tom's walking style. Were it not for the other reasonable fans around, Tom would have clobbered the kid silly.
Come the second half, gone was the timid performance and the boys were attacking with renewed strength and verve. A succession of chances later, Pogba found the net. The minority present (us) however celebrated cautiously. The score was 2-1.

Relief at the final whistle

There was hope that we could snatch a point. 97 seconds later, a cross from Alexis Sanchez found Pogba once again who headed the ball out of the reach of Ederson. This time there was no holding back. we celebrated wildly. 2-2!
The third goal, courtesy of another foul, was scored by Smalling who tapped the ball at close range to silence not only the Etihad, but the local City fans here at the village.2-3 to the Red Devils! I have never seen Tom this happy. Not since he won 20,000 last month courtesy of  a Sportpesa bet he had placed with half of his wage. The final whistle confirmed that the spoils were going back to Old Trafford.

Can't wait to see Liverpool complete a double over City next week!
