Pep’s Eleven Steal the Toffee Jar…
In a match that felt slower than your grandma’s knitting club, Manchester City woke up just in time to nick the Toffees’ candy with two sweet strikes in the dying minutes! Goodison Park can make a lion out of a kitten, but not even David Moyes’ magic carpet could prevent City from sneaking top shelf treats. They made the Toffees melt faster than a popsicle in the Sahara!
Would you believe it, Guardiola’s lads were dawdling as if they were taking in a Sunday stroll, with neither team looking likely to score. But wait! With a swashbuckling swing and a spot of Pickford-perturbation, City’s warm-up heroes might as well have been practicing wizardry. Nunes passed the wand, and O’Reilly, sharp as a cheddar, pounced like a cat on a laser dot. No slumber now! The only noise in that old stadium came from City fans clapping like seals who’ve won the lottery.
O’Reilly, now the rookie rockstar, shimmied to the frontlines to bask in the sugar rush of hero worship. Extra time saw Kovacic take the stage, swinging his boot like Thor with his hammer, sealing victory. With the match turning from mud to gold, City’s road trip to Aston Villa on Tuesday might need less magic dust with O’Reilly in the limelight!
