City survive Gerrard
The night was a capital ballot: City arrived at Villa Park with only 14 first team players (two of them, goalkeepers). AND Pep, lining up what I had and six homegrown players on the bench (none had minutes), stormed the lair of Steven Gerrard.
He did not lead because Chelsea fulfilled (1-2, at Watford’s), but for almost half an hour he settled on the throne.
And it is that even in the less bright nights, this City knocks you down. Reuben DiasFortunately, he opened the scoring: he shot from 25 meters, the ball touched a defender and entered the post. AND Bernardo silva, with a volley of film, shot the second before the useless stretch of the Dibu Martínez.
The gang of Steven Gerrard, brave, was unable. And that he had two clamorous to tie, both in the boots of his killer, Watkins, but nerves and Ederson left them without treasure. Grealish, the prodigal son, returned to his home … And got some boos. The City won and maintains the pulse of the Premier.
He survived a very difficult night. Survived Steven Gerrard.
