Holders Manchester United's thrashing of West Ham was followed by City's brilliant come from behind victory against the leaders –Chelsea. It capped a brilliant day for both Manchester sides. City desperately needed a win to put their season back on track and they were excellent all around barring last few minutes where they threatened to let the advantage slip away - once again.
City was good all through as they out played Chelsea for most part. They however came really close of getting another draw when Frank Lampard stepped up to take the penalty in the 81st. Shay Given saved the day for City after brilliant Tevez free kick had put City ahead. Chelsea's lead at the top has now been reduced to only 2 points but more importantly City have also showed that Chelsea is not unbeatable.

i saw the whole match... i think this was my match of the season so far....
ReplyDeletehome team goes a goal down early, crowd gets behind them..they score at half time...seconf galf the game tootally opens up...yellow cards, breathtakin interplays and end to end action, city score through tevez, action starts getting heated up...chelsea miss a penalty at the death...aweseome match
mind you piyush...2 english players lamps and defoe have missed penalties this weekend....
I thought apart from the penalty miss, Drogba missed an easy one in the dying minute too and I agree it was a fine game overall.
ReplyDeleteI also saw Everton coming back in another scintillating game of football. Last 15 minutes of the game were even better than City V Chelsea. I thought Saha was brilliant after coming on from bench.
Penalties missed ... well I had fading memories of the world cup debacle and Lampard refreshed my memories. What a pathetic strike from English #1. I am not sure if he still is the #1 penalty specialist in England team and if he is I guess it's time to move on.
Thus reminds me of the stopper - Tim Howard:)
Imagine Lampard v Howard in the opening game in SA ...shivers ...
main bhi woji sochh ra tha...if it comes to penalties england look suspect
