A magical night at the Etihad, after a tumultuous season, it was quite nice seeing this win on the backs of an on fire Kevin De Bruyne, Omar Marmoush banger and several returns, made for a great night. Rodri, Bobb and Nico came on after different levels of injury and it was nice to see them on the pitch.
The win leaps City to top 3 for now as we await the last match week this weekend, With i, we thank KDB and will have much more next week after his final match.
