Foden

This is a toss-up between his first goal, a classic Phil Foden no-look goal. Or his third, leading to his first hat-trick for the blues. I’m going with both; I can do what I want. Despite his 3 goals, he was one of the brightest lights on the pitch.

Grealish

Within minutes he was wreaking havoc down the left side, absolutely beautiful and direct football from him today and their defence was terrified – favourite moment was having Dalot booked within the first 2 minutes.

Haaland

The moment he scored his 3rd and did his little Buddha celebration. After weeks of hearing about how Martinez will silence our Norwegian meat shield, it was he and we, who had the last laugh as he got on the floor in meditative state to look Martinez in the eye.

Manchester is BLUE!

These are some of my favourite moments from the game, tell me yours in the comments.
