Manchester United produced an unbelievable second-half comeback against rivals Manchester City on Saturday to ruin a potential title party, eventually winning 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Finding themselves 2-0 down at half-time, all looked lost against Pep Guardiola’s outfit, but United finally turned up after the interval and, inspired by Paul Pogba, fought their way back into the match.
The midfielder scored twice in two minutes before Chris Smalling netted the winner, sending the away section into raptures and making City’s week go from bad to worse after being thrashed by Liverpool.
Pogba has been criticised in recent months for poor performances but he turned up in this big match and supporters have hailed his impact, believing this is the true player that the club paid so much money for.
Can he now produce this level of performance on a regular basis, week-to-week?
Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on his performance…
Liverpool were rampant over Manchester City in the opening salvo of the first-leg of their Champions League showdown.
Liverpool came flying out the gates and the fierce Anfield atmosphere combined with Klopp’s aggressive gegenpressing approach meant that Manchester City didn’t settle into the game. Liverpool stormed to a 3-0 lead in little over half an hour.
The last time Liverpool came to the Etihad Stadium it ended with Jurgen Klopp’s heaviest defeat in all competitions as Liverpool manager, a resounding 5-0 defeat. City are going to need another performance of that level to stand a chance at staying in this tie.
As good as Liverpool were on Wednesday night it is only half-time and as Liverpool fans well know a 3-0 lead isn’t always insurmountable.
“We have 90 minutes more” remarked Guardiola in his post-match press conference.
“We are going to create chances.”
Champions League knock out fixtures are games of four halves. While Liverpool dominated City in the first half, City responded in the second half. Particularly once Salah was taken off the field, Liverpool started to tire and drop back allowing City to settle into their usual rhythm.
They might not be returning to Manchester with an away goal but Pep will know that the players he has at his disposal have the ability to turn things around in the reverse fixture.
Next goal wins?
The first goal at the Etihad will be crucial. If Liverpool manage to score first than the tie will be all but over but on the other hand an early City goal would galvanise the City team and would be a real test to Liverpool’s defensive capabilities.
Just as City collapsed after the enigmatic Salah put Liverpool ahead so too could an early Aguero goal destabilise Liverpool’s bid to progress to the semi-final stages of the tournament for the first time since since the 2007/08 season.

Will Mo Salah be fit in time?
Pundits have run out of superlatives for the forward. The African Player of the Year has been in immense form this season and had his hand in two of the Liverpool goals (1 goal, 1 assist) before limping off.
His removal had a noticeable impact on the game. Liverpool lost a useful outlet to attack and began surrendering possession to City, content to defend their lead.
If they continue in that fashion in the return fixture they will be inviting trouble.
The winger took to social media on Thursday to provide concerned fans an update. Salah’s Instagram account features a photo of the player having a scan on his injured groin.

When Klopp was asked whether the Premier League’s top goal scorer would feature in this weekend’s Merseyside Derby, he had said: “Mo, I don’t know. He said he feels sometimes, something, and that was enough to take him off.
“But he said after the game ‘all fine, all good’ but I hope that is the case. We have to wait.”
First blood to Liverpool and, with or without Salah, this is undoubtedly now their game to lose.
The Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to what was an incredible performance from Juventus’ Brazilian livewire, Douglas Costa last night. Costa was a consistent threat to Real Madrid, putting crosses into the box and unsettling the back four on a night that almost went so wrong for Los Blancos.
Douglas Costa is currently on loan at Juventus from German giants, Bayern Munich and he’ll wish he was still with his parent club this morning as he’ll be reflecting on what could’ve been following last night. The Old Lady fell to a crushing 3-0 home defeat last Tuesday and looked as good as out of the Champions League without any sign of a comeback being on the cards, although at the Bernabeu things turned out very differently.
A Mario Mandzukic brace followed by Blaise Matuidi’s leveller put Juventus in the driving seat until Michael Oliver awarded Madrid a dubious 93rd-minute penalty and sent Gianluigi Buffon off for dissent in the aftermath. The decision, on reflection, was correct but Juve will feel hard done by when they look back at the game. Liverpool fans watching on, who have already secured their spot in Friday’s semi-final draw, were particularly impressed with the form of 27-year-old Brazilian as he played a huge role in making the impossible comeback look possible.

You can read our resident Reds’ verdict on Costa’s display here:
Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld is never far from the headlines at the moment.
The Belgian is yet to publicly discuss his long-term future at the club, with the London Evening Standard reporting that Spurs are willing to sell him this summer.
Talks regarding a new contract eventually broke down between both parties amid rumours that the camps could not agree on wages.
It is uncertain whether the centre-back will leave in this window or see out the rest of his contract, which can be extended to 2020, but it would mean that Alderweireld would be available at £25m before the final two weeks of the 2019 summer market.
Tottenham fans have regularly speculated on social media about how the saga will unfold, but the lack of minutes on the pitch has raised eyebrows.
Since recovering from a three-month spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury in February, the 29-year-old made two FA Cup appearances before being sent back to the training field.

Since then, Alderweireld has made just one appearance, in Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
After the match, the centre-back took to Twitter, and sparked a big reaction from the fans.
Liverpool’s front three has been devastating at times this season but their back-up options – Danny Ings, Dominic Solanke and Ben Woodburn – represent a significant drop-off in quality.
As Klopp has sought to rotate his side to preserve his key men for the run to the Champions League final, that has resulted in poor Premier League performances against the division’s two lowest sides – West Brom and Stoke – which have opened the door for Chelsea to potentially sneak into the top four.
Klopp has improved Liverpool’s ability to compete on multiple fronts but the domestic cups have fallen by the wayside this term and more depth is definitely needed at Anfield, to give his top men a breather.
Finding back-ups of sufficient quality is a hard task but one man who may just fit the bill is Jordan Ayew, of Swansea City. He is the right age – 26 – and can play all the way across the frontline without compromising his energetic style.
So, that’s why we’re asking you; would Ayew – valued at £6.3m by Transfermarkt – be worth a look from Klopp? Let us know by voting in the poll below and keep your eyes peeled for the results…

Football FanCast’s suggestion that Liverpool should complete a shock swoop for Swansea City striker Jordan Ayew certainly divided opinion. While the majority of those who took part in our poll sided with the idea, 52%, a rather significant minority of 48% didn’t.
At first glance, that’s more than understandable; Ayew’s only two full seasons in the Premier League so far, after going down with Aston Villa in 2015/16, could end in relegation should Swansea fail to avoid the drop this term. Liverpool, in contrast, will want to make a push for the division’s summit next season and could even enter it as European champions.
But sometimes fitting into a system is more important than actual ability – just look at seventh-placed Burnley – and for a couple of reasons, the 26-year-old appears well-suited to what Liverpool need. Perhaps the most obvious one is greater squad depth, particularly up front.
With Daniel Sturridge’s Liverpool career dead in the water and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ruled out through injury, the Reds head into a Champions League final depending on Danny Ings and Dominic Solanke to make an impact from the bench, or potentially even to fill in for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino should the worst happen before the meeting with Real Madrid in Kiev.
Football FanCast have already discussed one way of improving Liverpool’s attacking depth, by signing an upgrade on Mane and using the Senegalese attacker as part of the squad rotation because he’s so versatile and capable of consistently making an impact from the bench.
The alternative is, of course, signing players this summer with the intention of using them primarily as substitutes rather than a regular part of the starting XI. Ayew, who Transfermarkt value just at £6.3million and has spent his Premier League career battling relegation, would likely be more open to accepting that reduced role at Anfield compared to some of the big names on the Reds’ summer radar.
The Ghana international can also operate anywhere across the front three, as he has already for Swansea this season, and while he’s not on Mane and Salah’s level in terms of natural talent, he’s of a largely similar mould – a versatile and nomadic forward favouring speed over height and power, who occupies spaces between those of a winger and a typical centre-forward, and has a comparatively decent eye for goal.
Although his seven strikes this season isn’t a hugely inspiring total, it actually represents 26% of all Swansea’s Premier League goals, the Welsh side being the joint-lowest scorers and the lowest creators (sitting 47 chances behind the second lowest, Huddersfield) in the top flight for 2017/18.
But there’s another aspect to Ayew’s game too, that could make him specifically such a smart signing for Liverpool. It feels strange to judge attacking players on tackles and interceptions but that’s part of the criteria that has earned Firmino such high praise during the last few campaigns, and the only forward to make more tackles than him in the Premier League this term is indeed the Swansea star with an average of over two per game.
That’s not to say Ayew and Firmino are winning the ball back in the same way – whereas Liverpool press high, the Welsh side have spent much of the season sitting deep – but when combined with his natural athleticism and speed, the potential is certainly there for the African attacker to perform well in Jurgen Klopp’s system by making challenges in dangerous areas.

Although relegation may be initially seen as an indicator of why Liverpool shouldn’t move for Ayew, it’s also why the Merseysiders may be able to pick him up on the cheap this summer – if they go down, Swansea will likely be forced to sell arguably their most talented player at something of a reduced cost.
And for all those unconvinced about Liverpool swooping for someone who could technically be a Championship player by the time the transfer window officially opens, just look at how well signing Andrew Robertson’s worked out for the Anfield club. Ayew could quickly prove a likewise gem.
Liverpool have a wealth of attacking talent at their disposal, but judging by recent reports, manager Jurgen Klopp is keen to add more.
In the last few days, speculation has been rife that the club are interested in swooping for Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele.
The 20-year-old signed for the Catalan giants last summer from Borussia Dortmund, but injury problems delayed his progress.
The winger has struggled to settle at the Spanish outfit, making just 20 appearances in all competitions, and only nine of those were starts in La Liga.
In total, the youngster, who cost more than £100m when he moved to Barca, has produced six assists and scored two goals.
According to French TV show SFR Sport, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been ‘obsessed’ with Dembele ever since the attacker moved to Dortmund.
The Frenchman – valued at £72m by Transfermarkt – signed for the Bundesliga outfit a year after Klopp left as manager, but now it seems that the Liverpool boss wants to coach him.
SFR Sport claim that the Reds will explore a possible loan deal with an option to buy due to the likely cost of a straight deal.

Some Liverpool fans are excited by the prospect of signing Dembele, while others question the player’s attitude.
The youngster reportedly refused to train at Dortmund while waiting for his move to Barcelona.

As reported by ESPN, Everton are one of the teams in the hunt for Hamburg’s teenage prospect Josha Vagnoman this summmer.
What’s the story?
This summer is another one of transition for the Toffees after the ill-fated managerial spells of Ronald Koeman and Sam Allardyce.
It’s important the club get both their managerial appointment and transfer policy right if they are going to make progress in hunting down the Premier League’s established top-six sides.
One valid strategy is securing the best young talents in Europe before the bigger and richer clubs get their hands on them.
ESPN report that Everton are interested in doing exactly that, led by new Director of Football Marcel Brands.
The outlet reckon one of his first targets is Hamburg defender Josha Vagnoman, battling with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal for his signature.
Who is he?
Still just 17 years of age, Vagnoman became the second youngest player in Bundesliga history when he made his Hamburg debut against Bayern Munich back in March.
Rated at £180,000 by Transfermarkt, he has also featured heavily for the German national team’s youth sides, playing every game for his country in the U17 World Cup.

With big clubs interested in his services, Everton are right to put themselves in the frame to sign him, perhaps able to offer him first team football ahead of title-chasing sides like Chelsea.
It can be a strategy that pays off big in the future, considering they can’t currently compete with the top six once talents become established in Europe’s top five leagues.
With the Premier League’s 25-year anniversary season coming to a close, Football FanCast are taking a look back at some of the most exciting and significant fixtures in the competition’s history.
When thinking of the Premier League’s greatest thrillers, the likes of Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle inevitably come to mind. But away from the juggernauts and traditional top dogs of English football, and a goal-fest at The Valley in 2001 might well be the most incredible game you completely forgot about.
Under the floodlights on a particularly cold November night during the opening stages of the 2001/02 season, those who attended witnessed eight goals ranging from the ridiculously erroneous to the purely sublime, the lead change hands four times, a last-minute lead-grabber and an even later equaliser, one of the sweeping attacks of the season from West Ham, one of the finishes of the season from Charlton and some of the countless connections between the two London clubs come to life, clash and collide in front of their very eyes.
My Charlton-adoring father was one of those in attendance; myself, meanwhile, too young for the company of beer-belching, urinal-missing hardcores cursing themselves hoarse and corroding the cartilage in their wrists with relentless insinuations of self-onanism from opposing sides of a largely forgotten about London derby, had to settle for keeping up with the match on Ceefax.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, watching a page of white text and numbers on a black background constantly reload for 90 minutes would be an incredibly boring exercise – even back in 2001 when Ceefax was the closest thing the world had to Google.
But on this one occasion, the score updates on page 316 made grippingly fascinating viewing; even via the format of occasionally changing numbers and letters on a vast space-like canvas, the drama, unpredictability and sheer audacity of an eight-goal thriller in south east London truly shone through. Fortuitously, my father returned home later that evening to fill me in on all the details.
As already alluded to, as two London clubs of relatively near proximity but little in the way of rivalry, Charlton and West Ham’s histories overflow with connections.
If one were to draw a Venn diagram, the overlap would be bursting at the seams with former players and managers, not least including the Addicks’ man in the dugout that night – ex-West Ham midfielder and future manager Alan Curbishley – and the Hammers’ first goalscorer of the evening, Paul Kitson.
A journeyman striker, Kitson joined Charlton on loan from West Ham two years previous, adding one goal to their title-winning finish in what was once known as the new First Division.
But the Premier League is a much crueller place than what is now known as the Championship and the 5 foot 11 striker quickly reminded the Addicks of that, netting his first goal for his parent club that season in the third minute.
A delicate, curled pass from the outside of Paolo Di Canio’s boot dropped onto Kitson’s chest as he marched into the box. One cumbersome touch later, the one-time Charlton man drilled the ball onto the foot of Dean Kiely’s post, who stood helpless as it recoiled into the net.
But at this point, Charlton were quickly establishing themselves as the Premier League’s ever-plucky underdogs and everybody’s second-favourite team.
The fixture previous, the Addicks had shocked the Premier League to fight from a goal down at Highbury to beat Arsenal 4-2 and they had a similar comeback in store for the Hammers, albeit instigated by some frankly pathetic defending.
Captain Mark Kinsella flung a speculative free kick into the box from the halfway line; it skimmed off a West Ham head as two Irons defenders jumped into each other and amid all the confusion of Jason Euell and Shaka Hislop both closing down the loose ball, it somehow bobbled away from the flailing latter, leaving the former to poke home his easiest goal of the season.
Charlton’s second wasn’t much of a stunner either. Tomas Repka uncharacteristically attempted to impersonate Lionel Messi – I suppose back in 2001, attempting to impersonate Zinedine Zidane would be more applicable – by taking on two Addicks defenders in his own penalty box. Jonathan Johanss0n successfully challenged and trickled the ball to Euell, who grabbed his second goal of the evening by once again slotting past a largely helpless Hislop.
Charlton’s lead, however, would be cut out just eight minutes later with a flowing move that showed the ‘West Ham Way’ of the 1960s was well and truly still alive. Di Canio wrested for the ball in midfield before flinging another outside-of-the-boot curler in the path of Scott Minto, galloping on down the wing.
The one-time Benfica man surged forward down the left channel and slotted a pass around centre-back Mark Fish. Rushing onto it inside the area was that man again – Paul Kitson – who finished the sweeping attack with a side-footer into the Charlton net.
Back home in front of Ceefax, I stocked up on snacks, mainly crisps, anticipating an equally enthralling second half. As I poured what can only be described as my weight in Ready Salted into my soon-to-be heart-diseased body, I wasn’t left disappointed.
After the interval, it was Charlton’s turn to bring the sexy football, future three-time Hammer of the Year Scott Parker laying on a terrific through ball from midfield into the path of Johansson, curling it around a defender to leave the Finn free in the penalty box, who rolled a shot past Hislop to make it 3-2.
It was the second time Charlton had taken the lead and the third time it had changed hands in the space of an hour.
But whereas Curblishley’s side had showed stunning resolve to hold off a late Arsenal onslaught at Highbury, the Addicks could only keep firm for a handful of minutes this time around, Kitson once again the benefactor to grab just the second and last hat-trick of his career at the detriment of a club he’d once helped win their way to the promised land of Premier League football. And yes, unlike footballers today, Kitson celebrated every single goal with passion and conviction.
He wasn’t the only ex-Addick to come good against his former club that day. After Kitson’s equalising hat-trick, the consequence of a misguided header from Mark Fish and some poor work from future FA Cup final scorer for West Ham Paul Konchesky at the far post, there was the not so small matter of Jermain Defoe’s 84th-minute strike.
A Christian Dally cross from the flank, leaving Di Canio predictably disgusted that the Scot had attempted to set someone up himself rather than pass the ball a few yards to him, bobbled off a Charlton head and into the path of the then 19-year-old striker, who fired an unstoppable half-volley from the penalty spot with all the quality you’d expect of a player who has gone on to establish himself as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever goalscorers, still going strong today.
But Defoe’s success has always been a sore spot for Charlton fans; it’s little known that he actually began his career at The Valley but controversially rejected a professional contract to sign for West Ham. It later became one of English football’s earliest compensation cases for players under the age of 24, but the £1.4million awarded felt little consolation as Defoe belted past his boyhood club to make it 4-3.
With six minutes remaining and West Ham digging in, the free-scoring goal-fest appeared to be over. But then came the moment in stoppage time that transformed the game from being a vibrant London derby between two mid-table sides into an under-appreciated classic. A long throw launched by Luke Young. A flick-on by centre-back Steve Brown. Another flick-on by centre-back partner Mark Fish.

And then suddenly, out of nowhere, an acrobatic bicycle kick by Johansson. The Finland striker leapt and twisted in the air, made perfect contact with the ball with his laces and drilled it into the floor, the bounce leaving Hislop for dead as the ball trickled in for a last-second equaliser.
That was practically the last kick of the game, the icing on the cake and the glimmer of quality that may not have been the difference between the two sides but at least proved them to be equal on a frosty night in south east London.
It was also what had my Dad return home with a smile beaming from one ear to the other, not to mention me screaming, crisp crumbs around my mouth and all, at four words and two numbers floating on a sea of Ceefax black: Charlton Athletic 4-4 West Ham.
Filled with intoxicating attacking action, gorgeous goals and a few very forgettable ones, full-blooded tackles that would make Roy Keane wince, and intriguing sub-plots in every area of the pitch, the eight-goal thriller at The Valley deserves its place in the Premier League history.

Liverpool have some problem areas in their squad – namely the defence and goalkeeper – that need addressing in this summer’s transfer window.
However, judging by most of the media reports, the Merseyside outfit are hunting for a attack-minded stars.
Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are are deadly force to be reckoned with at Anfield, but the front three are not superhuman.
If either of those three need to be rested or suffer an injury, Jurgen Klopp does not have many options that meet the same level of criteria.
[brid autoplay=”true” video=”252976″ player=”12034″ title=”Watch 21 things that will definitely happen at the World Cup”]
Recently, Calcio Insider reported that Liverpool are considering a move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.
The 20-year-old has been linked to numerous clubs over the last few months, and now it appears that the Reds have taken a keen interest.
Despite his young age, Bailey made 34 appearances in all competitions for the German outfit, and in that time scored 12 goals and created six assists.
The youngster certainly has the attributes that would slot into Klopp’s system at Anfield, but he would perhaps have to settle for a part-time role at first.

Although, Bailey possesses the quality that would give Liverpool’s attacking stars some fierce competition.
The Reds have moved quickly in the transfer window so far this summer, and could Bailey be next?
