Events

Match Events

  • 51' Manchester City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 64' Assisted by Jeremy Doku with the perfectly-timed delivery and Phil Foden makes no mistake. 4-0!
