10. Storming the Etihad (2019)
”They are so fast, so quick,” said Pep Guardiola, having seen United’s devastating counter-attacking play all-but end his side’s title defence before the halfway point of the current campaign. With Liverpool continuing to set a break-neck pace at the head of the Premier League table, the Blues could contemplate nothing but victory over a United side generally expected to leave the Etihad empty handed. Instead, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side provided a sensational display of lightning raids, which might have ratcheted up a hefty advantage by half-time. Marcus Rashford’s cool penalty and Anthony Martial’s near-post effort were tangible reward for a dominant performance, while a spate of other missed chances were rendered inconsequential by a near-flawless defensive display.
