While that game had ended in demoralising defeat for Manchester City, this one would have a very different outcome. Guardiola continued to urge his players forward, despite the danger posed by Vardy on the break, and they were soon level.

Others said 'why not do this at another time?'"But the whole point was that signings are a viral moment. We could point to a missing child post at any time of the year, but we wouldn't get as much attention. It was quite hard work, but I remember getting that call from Missing People for the first girl found and it was one of the best calls I've ever taken. It felt better than winning any match or even the Champions League.
I know they played back two months ago also here at Sydney stadium and it ended just 0-0 in the end but circumstances where totally different as the hosts had 3 wins from 3 games in the league before that game, and did not really went all in on attack as in fact Brisbane dominated the game having more scoring chances and the hosts were happy in the end with the nil draw.
The hosts have struggled at home this term, failing to win against any side above 16th in the table.

How?!"Mo scored the most difficult situation of the whole night!" an incredulous manager Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport. I have no idea [how]. With his quality, how he didn't score one or two of the others I have no clue. He played really well but didn't score in the situations we expect him usually to score, but staying on track and making such a decisive and very difficult finish, that probably says much more about him than all of the other goals he has scored.
In the last 2 consecutive rounds, Inter were held in a draw, which made them removed by Juventus with 4 points more.

Despite him making my Team of the Week before, I've never been totally convinced by the performances of Kepa Arrizabalaga. He appears to be a very competent shot-stopper but not as commanding on crosses or set-pieces. However, the Spain international dug Chelsea out of a very difficult period towards the end of this fixture and was the reason Brighton did not come away with all the points. Did you know? Arrizabalaga made four saves for Chelsea at Amex Stadium, with half of those coming after Brighton had scored their equaliser.

But this is now very much the Spaniard's side, and while he is in credit from his 12 games so far, there is still clear work to be done. Having played in Athens in the Europa League on Thursday with a side that included five of the 11 that started against Everton, the Gunners had significantly less recovery and preparation time than the Toffees, who last played on 8 February.
