Fans at Citi 99.7 FM’s Premier League Roadshow, Bosphorus Restaurant
Fans of Manchester City were in cloud nine whiles their Red town rivals, Manchester United, were completed demoralized after they lost at the Theatre of Dreams to the ‘Citizens’ who extended their lead to at the top of the bottom in the Premier League.
There were mixed reactions from fans of the clubs who assembled at Citi 99.7 FM’s Premier League Roadshow at Bosphorus Restaurant in Labone to witness the match which was dubbed by many as the League decider.
Pep Guardiola’s team stretched their lead at the top of the table to 11 points and became the first team to win 14 successive English top-flight games in a single season.
City took the lead their vast superiority deserved when man-of-the-match David Silva hooked home from close range after confusion at a corner on 42 minutes, only for United to be handed a lifeline in first-half stoppage time when poor defending from Nicolas Otamendi and Fabian Delph allowed Marcus Rashford to steal in for a composed finish.
Otamendi made amends nine minutes after the break when Romelu Lukaku – who had a poor game – lashed at a clearance in the area and the City defender pounced on the rebound to score.
Supporters of both Manchester City and United could not hide their joy and frustration when they spoke to Ghanaweb.com shortly after the game.
