goal it's 1 n well here we can see it again and it's a really cool finish he didn't overthink it just made his mind up and slaughtered it [Applause] home for manest off we go at 1 n 17 Kevin Dey that looks like a good Advantage play an attack of genuine promise developing now it needs a good ball in is this The Equalizer crucial defending could be trouble [Applause] rodri Harland oh he's done well to get past his man harand and the referee points to the spot penalty it's going to be a booking as well yeah it had to be poor decision he'll know [Applause] [Applause] that to extend the lead and they have paid the penalty it's been dispatched well let's see this again the goalkeeper anticipates he's going to go Central he doesn't makes him look a bit silly in the [Applause] end for and the game restarts with the score 2-n [Applause] [Applause] Zuma City recovering possession well rodri Bernardo Silva and set up the chance and it's on now well that's as easy as it gets for a [Applause] goalkeeper relish well he's lost the ball and any chance has gone mik Antonio now there could be a real chance developing The Comeback could be on here and the goalkeeper does what he's there to [Applause] [Applause] do it's been delivered it's only halfway clear and still danger here it hasn't come to anything disappointing [Applause] oh already booked what's the referee going to do [Applause] now booked for the second time he's got to go well he's just not thought there has he just desperate to get the ball back but he gets it all wrong [Applause] berardo Silva Harland what a chance save but not clear well nothing doing for them in the end Harland Harland oh seeking his second goal but the keeper stops it he's certainly been bright getting himself into good position on a regular basis but this time the keeper equal to [Applause] him into the box it goes it's away but it's not finished yet Bernardo Silva and this could be what a stop razor Shar ah talk about reactions how good were his then it's such close race that's a brilliant [Music] [Applause] save delivered into the box how did they failed to score that's one to ponder for a while [Applause] mik Antonio and that's where it ends with possession [Applause] lost city are moving the ball well with real confidence oh a great chance and further clear they go there's surely no throwing this one away well here we can see it again and he probably won't get an easier finish than that but there was never any doubt that he put that one away [Applause] for well we've witnessed the Manchester City master class so far you sense it's a matter of how many Vladimir sofal Jared Bowen they're not getting close enough here and the flags up offside the call [Applause] Harland Harland oh chance here well he scored but it's not going to count he finished it off nicely didn't he but he was comfortably offsides [Applause] approaching the interval now and the host look like having a mountain to climb is the score fair enough on what we've seen it's been a really bad first half hasn't it the backline has been wo feels like every time the opposition come forward they're going to concede needs to be a huge Improvement in the second [Applause] half Harland found nicely and [Applause] in Muhammad kudus [Applause] now de bruyne arand oh he's done well to get past his man and two becomes three as he completes his hattrick a superb [Applause] performance well take a look at this the pace they show on transition it's just so impressive The Defenders can't stay with them and what a finish he goes for power it was never in doubt he just looks so confident running through goal for the game restarts with this as good a first half performance as you're likely to [Applause] see they're allowing space and he's finding it relish de bruyne real opportunity it must be with the keeper nowhere to be seen they've been punished shocking defending well here we can see it again though I'm not sure the keeper or the defense will want to probably the simplest finish you'll have all season no wonder the manager's [Applause] Furious for Manchester City and that brings the first half to an end here at the London Stadium well lling Harland has put on a display of the highest quality up to now I would think you've only and we're off for the second [Applause] half Walker crucial defending Bernardo Silva the goal keeper more than ready for it as the stats show you just wonder how many this could be because the way that they go forward it's great to watch so much creativity and the defense just can't cope with them surely the manager will make a change soon well there could be a chance here Sue it's in they've scored and you have to credit them for keeping going at [Applause] least well we can see it again now and they're so dangerous in these transitions the speed of the counter attack is really impressive and it's a brilliant finish he strikes through the ball the keeper has no chance to preped finish a really good interception to take the ball pushing forward now to make the right choice a terrific tackle the chance has [Applause] gone earling Harland relish [Applause] City have possession [Applause] again Alvarez oh could be a chance here and you can feel the frustration after that he got all of it but it's nowhere near [Applause] Bernardo Silva rry Oden has to be here it is [Applause] Lucas [Applause] pakar oh that's been won really [Applause] smartly Bernardo Silva and this could be one more to the total and there's no sign of them stopping there well here's the replay and just look at the way he Glides past the defender makes it look so easy and it makes the Striker's job relatively easy all he has to do is make the right connection it's a really good [Applause] goal goal for Manchester City number nine earling harand Alvarez this is a message for Owen Kennedy Owen happy birthday from your friend Jonathan Fish and they've lost it now and out of Play It goes for a throw in [Applause] Jared Bowen Antonio City have it back now rol radiol can he finish and the numerical Advantage is told as they get themselves in front here it is again and the keeper does well initially to anticipate where the shots going he gets a touch on it but just not enough to keep it out [Applause] goal for Manchester City number 20 berardo Silva Jared [Applause] Bowen and into the box it goes but he can't keep the effort on target goal kick to come [Applause] foden rodry Ruben Diaz bden oh just over if only that could have been hit from a meter or so further back under a bit of pressure here pakar oh and he's left his Man Behind well not long to go until the end and the host clearly second best that's the story of the game this just hasn't been good enough now this could be a chance here and still danger here oh it was a wonderful chance but he went to whack it rather than place it Alvarez great chance here and this is turning into one magnificent and memorable match yet another goal well here's the replay it's poor defending but you can't take anything away from the movements and the calm finish it's a really nice goal La Kevin [Applause] read the pass well and cuts it out Bernardo Silva what a chance and there it is he's doubled up for the [Applause] day well we can see it again and it's a wonderful assist you have to say beautiful technique to create the chance and then three on goal he decides to go for power absolutely smashes it past the keeper and you have to say it was a good finish bden could be a chance well not the easiest of saves but you'd expect him to probably stop that [Applause] they take it [Applause] short cuts inside Stones oh a great chance and the goalkeeper does what he's there to do well that brings the match to a close a frustra
