Sanchez's goal was brilliant. Few and far between this season though.

Welbeck's injury looked nasty. Hoping he doesn't miss the Euros.

Just need to win against Villa and seal third spot.

One thing that really annoyed me was in the 92 minute we had a free kick and could of played a long ball into the box, but we played it short just to kill time.

Bloody good header from Olly. He read it very well.
It was horrible defending from Mangala, left Giroud with a free header. Thankfully he took advantage and buried it.

The layoff for Sanchez was perfectly done. Giroud is at his best bringing the other attackers into the game with his passing.

Don't t why we haven't seen more of that this season.

Absolute horror defending, city forked a bit of coin for him didn't they?

Good to see him back on the scorers sheet, that was a barren run of epic proportions and went a long way to us dropping out of the title race it has to be said.

Cech's goalkeeping on his near post from mid to long range low drives is pretty damn suspect he's let quite a few in like that

Around £35m I think City paid for him. Huge fee for a centre half. It was ridiculously bad defending, how you can lose your man in such a position right in front of goal. It was a gift that thankfully, this time, Giroud took.

With KDB's goal, it just needed someone to take him down. Even if you cop a yellow card for a professional foul, you gotta stop him charging towards goal like that. Perhaps Gabriel should have or Bellerin.

Bellerin would have had to scythe him down from behind, it would have been the easiest thing in the world for Gabriel to let KDB put the ball around him and then just body check him. Could even have gotten away without a card if done right. Instead he just backed away and didn't even bother to try and block the shot.

Whatever the exact figure, he's the most expensive defender in English football history.

I'd much prefer paying £11 for that ******* shit for brains Gabriel - the same quantity of gash at almost 1/4 the price!
