#6 – Swansea draw 1-1….

How does a 1-1 draw against Swansea make this list? Kelechi scored in the 5th minute, but it’s the date that makes this significant. May 15th, the last weekend of league play for the 15/16 season.

Had City not secured that point, they would have fallen to 5th place and missed out on Europe. Instead his goal put City ahead of United for 4th place on goal difference (+30 to +14). Not being in the Champions League for Pep’s first year would have been horrible, and would he still have agreed to the move without being in the competition?
