WEEK 4
9/17/17MANCHESTER CITY 3 - 2 LIVERPOOL
MANCHESTER CITY (TR 5; DE 4) vs LIVERPOOL (TR 3; DEF 3)
The game got off to a horrible start for ManC when Robero Firmino scored in the first minute. It got worse for the home team as 55,097 Man U fans were horrified when Liverpool went up 2-0 in the 22’ when Kevin DeBruyne headed a ball into his own goal. You could hear a pin drop at american Express Community Stadium. But Man U is a resilient team.
At 34’ DeBruyne went from goat to hero with a goal directly from the corner on a Corner Kick. Man C then tied the game at 43’ when Fernandinho tied the game with an assist from Leroy Sane.
It began to look like this match might endin a tie. Manchester C started to dominate about 3/4 of the way through the second half, and, in the 88th minute, it paid off when Raheem Sterling took a corner from DeBruyne and beat Loris Karius for a 3-2 Manchester City lead. That proved to be the final.
DeBruyne leads Man C with three goals.

Thanks for reaching. I had a pretty big heart attack, the one they call the widowmaker. Fortunately, I survived that and luckily I had “minimal” heart damage. Feeling good and playing away.
