Tribute to football at the Etihad
A toast to the goal, a madness, a scoreboard from another era, a tennis result … call it what you want, but Manchester City and Leicester have dignified Boxing Day, the most special day of the year in England, in a spectacular match.
Who would have thought that the Foxes were going to recover to the 4-0 with which they went to rest. But this is the Premier. Those of Guardiola advanced many meters to press and those of Rodgers, specialists in the noble art of the counterattack, turned the match upside down. Maddison, Lookman and Iheanacho managed to impose the 4-3 in the light in just ten minutes and silenced the Etihad.
In order to stop this madness, Aymeric Laporte jumped more than anyone in a corner to sign the fifth for the Sky Blues. The bubbles began to dissipate and again the visitors ended up paying for their lack of skill when defending the set pieces. Rúben Dias won the aerial duel and Sterling took advantage of it to sign his double.
Without a doubt, this great game is a Christmas gift for football lovers.
