YOUR MATCH REMINDER

Three days after Marcus Rashford had downed Tottenham at Old Trafford in Jose Mourinho’s first visit as Spurs boss, the Reds saw off another ‘big six’ side, thanks to an exhilarating first half-an-hour at the Etihad. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side battered the champions on the counter-attack, racing into a two-goal lead through Rashford’s penalty and Martial’s well-placed effort from the edge of the box.

It could have been four or five, though, with City’s defence in constant retreat and unable to deal with the blistering pace of our attacking quartet of Martial, James, Lingard and Rashford, who also struck the crossbar between our first and second.

The inevitable Blues onslaught came after the break, but the Reds settled into their defensive shape and did what they had to do to repel the home side, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka particularly immense at right-back. Nicolas Otamendi nodded in with five to play to crank up the pressure, but we held on to secure the bragging rights – not for the last time this season.
