Loudest I've ever heard the city fans.

39 goals so far this season now for Haaland, if he scores 3 more before the end of the season it will be his best goalscoring season of his career.

Does.messi hold that record too? I remember him getting 70 or something in 1 season

Haaland eclipsing Mbappe outside of a farmers league.

73 Messi got in a season, Haaland a long way off that even with all his goals this year. He might break that when he inevitably joins Madrid though

Guys like a ball magnet in the box.

Banger from KDB to make it 7. Incredible.

If Haaland keeps up his current form and City play all their remaining games he could score 61 goals in all comps from 56 apps. 12 premier left, 5 champions league and 3 FA Cup.

Haha what is a red card nowadays if this isn't?

 

[CliffyG]

No where near the goal so not last man but its both feet off the air in no control. Definite yellow at least. Was it even a free kick?

 

[C Kent]

Guess the Oil state have tired of waiting for Guardiola to win it 'legitimately' and have taken to throwing a few £££ at the refs/var team in their games

 

[shipinabottle]

Karate kicking through the air never mind that he get's none of the ball and absolutely clatters the man... usual goalie protection

 

[Ayahuasca]

Last man or not, if an outfield player goes flying into a tackle that high, it would be a straight red.

It's not last man it's denying a clear goal scoring opportunity...he's the goalkeeper and the lad would have had a free shot. It's a red card for that alone then when you look at the actual challenge that's also a red. Terrible decision.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I'm not sure he'd have had a free shot as Grealish is tracking him on the right side. It should have been a red simply for the recklessness of the challenge.

He was heading in the direction of the corner flag. Most probably why it was only a yellow.

But you're right, I've seen red given in these type of scenarios before.

Ederson didn't get the yellow, he booked Werner for misconduct

The City defender was right on him though. I can see why that might not be clear cut. Did they even give a free kick for it? Looks like they booked the player from the other team.

Its OK though, probably didn't effect the game at all...

How VAR hasn't been able to say "you've had a shocker there" is beyond me.
