Barnsley v Manchester city in carabao cup semi final leg1

earlier and it just hasn't relented I'm Derek Ray perched here on the commentary Gantry and sitting alongside me to provide expert analysis it's Stuart Robson and what we have coming up for you is the semi-final first leg in the cup it's barnesley facing Manchester City well what a moment for both these teams oh in with a chance just leaning back a bit and Over the Bar and a look at the starting 11 for Manchester City ederson gets the nod in goal Bruno fernan plays alongside rodri in the center of Midfield and providing the main goal scoring threat today is earling Halland Bruno fernan oh good defending to stop a decent looking attack well you never quite know who's going to dominate a game in advance but I think you can maybe make an argument for this fellow Stuart what do you think we'll see from him today well what form he's been in recently whenever a chance seems to come his way he finishes it of course he'd be tightly marked today but I still fany him to add to his recent tally of [Applause] goals Daniel and the flag raced offside it is [Applause] foden very quick thinking there well that is how to play [Applause] Advantage this might have potential great [Applause] defending City pushing forward with options available well not quite what he wanted to do with the pass so deflection and it will be a throw in and the referee now going back to deal with the earlier incident a yellow card it's going to be will linii Hartman Phil foden now and out of play the pass nearly worked out but not [Applause] quite pinii Hardman well danger here as he runs at them and he favors the inside routes an alert reaction to tipet over a city Corner as is let's see about the delivery not the best [Applause] clearance rodri determined defending he went in so dangerously with that tackle now the referee is the man everyone's looking at well he's going to be taking no further part in this match well it's not a clever challenge is it they're going to have to dig in [Applause] now a change on the offing for City can he find the right pass a fine reading of the situation and that is offside [Applause] [Applause] it is Advantage Manchester City here City move it forward with purpose and that will be a corner over it comes oh that's not a good clearance can he find the net he'll take efforts like that all day long giving the ball to the opposition that [Applause] time well he knows what he's doing defensively [Applause] but he certainly not alone element of risk there but he's won the ball excellent use of Advantage from the referee and City's [Applause] favor pinii [Applause] Hartman and Manchester City moving the ball with purpose thumps clear and he takes it away making a bit of Headway the referee has decided to give the free kick decision the way of City well sensible refereeing you might say now he goes back and hands out the yellow card Stuart yeah that's very good he let the play continue and then came back for the earlier challenge now not the best challenge could go ahead oh that's textbook goalkeeping and the referee has pointed to the spot penalty given but I think we were all wondering what the verdict would be the answer a yellow card Stuart well he's just about got away with that one it's a good foul in the end this to make it 1 n and the spot kick is converted as cly as you like well watching the penalty again the word unlucky Springs to mind Keepers guessed the right way but it's just Out Of Reach as it slips under him really unfortunate City and back underway one n it [Applause] is well it was a foul but good use of Advantage by the referee nicely cut [Applause] out given away again well good run and good ball control and thating his opponent in the nick of time [Applause] Daniel plenty of forward momentum here but can they produce oh maybe The Equalizer oh there it is a back and for sort of match now they're level again the lead lasted nearly minutes well two on one the ER has no chance here as you can see it's a well taken goal in the [Applause] end well that picture says it all his team are back in the game now so the ball is rolling again at one Alexander Arnold cooku on the ball Ruben Di and the advantage is with City well a foul after the previous one and a free kick Ines lot to like about that pass but he took care of it defensively now perhaps they can counter from here three minutes of stoppage time that's what the officials have said well spot on with that challenge cooku really bright looking attack and there it is the halftime whistle so back underway here into the second [Applause] half and the emphasis is on creativity tenacious tackling excellent defending there can he make it count and there is the goal he's found the net UNC confined well here it is again and credit to the goal scorer but you have to ask questions of the keeper he's got to have that near post covered for me no wonder he's frustrated with [Applause] himself so the ball is rolling again two who won the score what's going to happen [Applause] next really getting stuck [Applause] in well the focus in recent days has been on West Ham to a large extent and now we can say that the transfer is official and the fans no doubt delighted Stuart well the figure that's being quoted is around the 35 million Mark which in my view looks to be just about right let's hope he fits in quickly and justifies that price T just wasn't going to part with the ball Luna fernan there could be consequences given that the yellow card was handed out to him earlier well when you've already been booked Stuart You've Got To Tread carefully well that's not intelligent play is it he's lucky still to be on the field so deciding to make a Personnel change at this juncture into the box it goes and that a piece of goalkeeping you're going to see again and again and again he's driven in the corner did his job defensively Bruna fernan has it no way through rewarded for that brilliant High Press has eyes for goal oh great block and Manchester City will go to their bench and he's fired over the corner and stopping the danger it was on its way in just a reminder we have more absorbing action from the Premier League coming your way here on eatv it's barnesley taking on lead United could be well in some style ederson prevents a [Applause] goal now sending it in and it's gone in just what the doctor ordered things looking very bright for them now with this buffer well here is again it's a good delivery from the corner and it ends up with a fairly simple finish certainly not much the goalkeeper can do about [Applause] that so back underway 3-1 the [Applause] score L Harman and a strong tackle [Applause] can they convert not out of the woods yet managed to get it out of there not what you want to be doing when you've already been [Applause] cautioned just a quick reminder we have more action from the Premier League coming your way it's Manchester City taking on Brighton well all doing their bit to keep them out [Applause] it's got to be and the ball is loose and in at the second time of asking just what was required well here it is again and I feel a bit sorry for the goalkeeper he makes a good save to start with but where are his Defenders following in instead it's the attacker who's alert he gets to the ball first and it's a good [Applause] finish goals and plentiful Supply 4-1 [Applause] currently exploiting the wide area well nothing for the players in the middle to work with good example of pressing without the ball excellent use of Advantage from the referee in City's favor 20 minutes to go successfully cut out [Applause] Daniel shaby Simons could be dangerous and with that the that Fizzles [Applause] Out burger kookachu and the challenge halts them in their tracks well that one has [Applause] promise and on the back of that particular challenge will the referee let the matter r there well deemed to have been a cautionable offense well no question about it he deserved his booking there moving forward effectively well nothing comes of it it looked promising fan 10 minutes left for [Applause] play Alexander Arnold it is Advantage Manchester City here just the challenge that was required a city free kick forthcoming [Music] [Applause] good efforts here and well positioned to clear it certainly wasn't a clean tackle and the referee has got to book him I think well a yellow card it is and not too many complaints no he can't argue with that he's been warned well the execution there rather went a eyy well dck the less said about that the better I think High pressing at its [Applause] best this could be troublesome [Applause] and he scored not once but twice they simply cannot stop him and no wonder he's enjoying himself well here's the replay he's got such quick feet hasn't he just look how he goes past his marker to get his shot away that's a really good goal well that's not a happy manager at all Pep Guardiola knows he's got a lot of work to do now well if there were any lingering doubts about the outcome surely they now have been [Applause] removed Das Vivan Holland now with fernan oh that's a super piece of Defending well they pulled one back but perhaps a bit too late in this contest they haven't been at the races this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] evening [Applause] Daniel determined defending cooku on the ball Ruben Das they've regained possession and he's made it a brace for himself The Defenders just unable to stay with him and he's having a field day well here it is again the through ball is absolutely inch perfect and then through on goal he just goes for power and smashes it past the keeper there's no stopping that what a great [Applause] finish well no wonder he's delighted they're bossing the game now [Applause] and there it is the referee blows for full time and my goodness no wonder these home fans are ecstatic still there is a job to do but they must fancy their chances based on this performance yeah and what a performance it was you can see the confidence in these players the belief has been growing with every game this tie is not over yet but they must know baring a major upset they're just 90 minutes away from the final now
