Absolutely deserved win, especially based on the second half performance. City simply didn't have any questions to ask us with the ball then, as we kept it! Credit to our team, but they were ill prepped on winning it off us, not particularly surprised with Pellegrini, defensive work, tactics. never really seem his strongest asset. We always spank City performance wise at home these days, now the results are catching up, last season, today....
Great shot from Coutinho, need to see it again, but he has this technique where he puts a bit of topspin on it, which I've seen Aguero do, the real Ronaldo too, rather than a straight instep hit. When you combine that with a bit of swerve, you get a shot like that, dipped right in beyond Hart while staying out of his reach during the trajectory as well.
