Two things to mention, hats off to the ballboy for his ****housery on Grealish and I think Pep made a big mistake by not playing Haaland today
Terrible news: Bryan and Lamela are both on the bench for Sevilla's match with Barca Live on ITV4 shortly!
Well he didn't play KDB from the start, you know, the player that a lot of us would be really worried about. Is it a case of "the best manager in the world" (TM) being too clever (again)? So when is the media going to discuss the "distribution" of yellow cards? Early yellows for us, not for them. They are hard enough to beat without that handicap. I'm not saying it's corruption of conscious bias, but it's something that officials should be made aware of. Incidentally, not sure about Romero's second yellow. I can see why it was given, but I thought Grealish really went for the outstretched leg (when I'm sure he's got the skill to go round if he wanted to).
There's only one Aaron Lennon! Great to see him back and getting such a great reception. Hopefully the club will upload his interview for those that weren't there. Here's Kane's:
Grealish definitely threw his right leg at Romero, AshleyYoung style and, not surprisingly, the ref fell for it. This is the sort of situation that VAR should be allowed to intervene.

Pro tip : Don't do the journey by coach on the day of he game. < This PSA is brought to you by Etihad airlines >
An honour to see Harry achieve the record. What a game by Royal. He was magnificent. At one stage, second half, ball was passed to Kulu on the half way line, and as is his way , he started dribbling forward. Meanwhile, Royal, from deep in his half busted a gut to get forward to assist Kulu. Definitely MOTM performance. ( Kane only got it as he broke the record ) Son was okay IMO but he still needs to release the ball sooner.
