0:02 · Joe Hart back where he was the number one until a change of management and a change of style for goalkeepers. Here we go in recent years from Manchester Pacific.
0:17 · Remember Benson Company came in like a David Silva before that started. But goodness me, making the decision to join the club, it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done.
0:30 · It’s a breakaway here. And it’s fired in by Martin Petro, the Bulgarian back in England.
0:39 · I think the goals are going to flow tonight and Manchester City, the legends have got one. It came down that side of the pitch. Gary, Gary, Gary, what on earth are you doing? How many times we criticize defenders for ball watching?
0:54 · And then Gary Neville may be worried about a lack of pace, but what on earth he’s doing here, stepping up, Ashley Cole plays on Martin Petrov, and you’re never going to catch him. Edwin Vander gets his angles all wrong. One minute played, 1-0 City.
1:06 · Yeah, he just doesn’t stay with his man, does he, Martin? What an ery thinking.
1:10 · What an ery thinking. You can’t allow Petrov in behind you like that.
1:13 · I tell you what he was thinking. I hope he misses, but he didn’t. And Bulgaria could have done with Martin Petro on Saturday at Wembley where they had none of that sort of firepower. No, you might see one or two generous decisions from the assistants. Well, not that one. [cheering] Top of the pitch. He’s pushed up again.
1:47 · Challenge.
1:51 · Here’s Agüero.
1:57 · Fableta on the burst. Now David Silva also said his last season. Here’s the goal scorer of Petro. It’s a very good cross on just nicked away from Right. Phillips by Michael Carrick. always plays as though he’s got another three gears in there. The Dutchman D Young Neville shuttles across. Tony Cara tries to close down a slip from him. Another slip and just the presence of Agüero terrified the life out of even Mikuel Arteta who coaches him.
2:47 · passing happily is forward whenever possible. Nazrey and Maros has given the free kick.
2:59 · Well, Paul Scholes was a terrible tackler even in his heyday in his prime. There’s one. That should be a free kick. He thinks I didn’t get him first time. I’m only going to get him the second.
3:08 · Nigel Dong fancies this one corner.
3:16 · He’s one of the last City players expect to actually take this free kick.
3:21 · Not the bravest war you’ve ever seen, but he does his job. Tony Tony Carrick of course scored more own goals than the Premier League than actual goals at the right end. He does that still very effectively. Keane going in. Zabaleta eases in it. Marsey being asked the question by the Irishman.
3:43 · Well, Robbie Keane’s complaining to Mark Ali that he was fouled, but he’s never going to get to the ball and Zabaleta has just steps in front of him.
3:51 · Premier League Allstar break here with Nikki But in the middle. Keane’s gone short. Oh, it’s a decent hit from Giggs. It could have been in any era over the last 30 years. Absolutely. It’s not easy a ball coming across your body, but when you’re Ryan Giggs, there’s a fair chance you’re going to strike it on target. Have to be sharp. We mentioned earlier Goss and Joe half is stopped.
4:23 · Robin Van Persie flipping in the equalizer. [applause] Fine goalkeeping. Well, he just about stayed up long enough. So if he goes to ground here, the ball gets dked over him or if Van Persie decides to slide it down the side of him, it’s 1-1. Tries to be a little bit too clever, but Joe Hart’s actually stayed up and by Giggs goes with the flick. Carrick first time spot on and Percy Keane lovely goal 1-1.
4:59 · Well, you could call it a blast from the past, but it was a very very eye-catching in the present.
5:07 · Yeah, it all starts with Michael Carrick. He’s been absolutely outstanding, but it’s one touch football. Well, that can catch out any defense. Great understanding actually between Van Pie and Robbie Keane. The way that Keane gets away from Van Persie. No chance for Joe Harton keeping that out. [cheering] [laughter] as still looks as young and Bangal pulled out at the last minute. Bellamy was trying to get some contact there and get a penalty.
5:43 · I think Edwin was too wise.
5:45 · He knew he wasn’t going to score. The angle was against just hoping the keeper was really committed and and took him out. That’s what he was waiting for. Bellamy and it just never happened.
5:53 · They scored as offside and saves it. say they scored in the first few seconds.
6:01 · There it is. Right on the dot. So for Vincent company being replaced by number 29 Richard Richard Wright has come on in gold.
6:14 · Joe Hart number I’m kind of also thinking of the interest of of Man City. you know, I don’t want them to drop anything in the in the race for the for the league title, but it was great to see them on the pitch. They’re through true true legends. And as I said, I’ll be back for for David Silva’s testimonial and hopefully Kun as well.
6:35 · And a special moment for your brother, too.
6:38 · Yeah.
6:38 · Yeah. I I wanted to play with him today. It was a is a dream we always had. We We’ll have to wait a little bit more, but uh yeah, he’s a good player. Yeah, he’s done all these youth teams, youth team levels in in in good clubs. So, I want to see him van Percy. Great club, right? You got some reings to do. Go back over there.
6:57 · Yeah. Yeah. It’s not his fault, though.
7:01 · Well, Robin Van Persie stealing the show there and putting the Premier League Allstars in front. It’s a lovely goal.
7:10 · He’s made one now. He’s scoring. He has looked really lively. It’s just a little give and go. Just follows his pass. No one stays with him as we saw so many times during his career. Just that composure just to pass the ball into the bottom corner. It’s a brilliant finish. Might have been a little trip by Arteta.
7:27 · They have got a lead to defend and they have been defending pretty well in the shape of Michael Carrick. He’s now right on the edge. And Bellamy master’s there as well, but Bellamy wall does its job.
7:54 · He did the right thing and did injure his opponent, but he’s a fully committed player still.
8:00 · It’s Lecott’s turn to be fully committed.
8:12 · So decent try from Rafael Vanerv has had a one or two games Bellamy given the Premier League starts to get it away.
8:36 · Yeah, that is the major bump for Ryan Gigs. any game that he plays in you expect him to reproduce that goal.
8:43 · Lovely pass from Skulls and Van Persie gets a corner of Frontaris company. At times poor scores has to complicate the game to make it a challenge. How about that? A little sliced pass.
8:58 · Beautifully weighted.
9:02 · Some players it’s hard enough playing that with your the instep of your left foot that long the outside of your right. Brilliant again but pursued by Ireland but Bellamy with him. Here’s Greg Bellamy here is shortly coming after he set up an equalizer. Well, he maybe should have done Martin Petro Nazri Ireland again. Manchester City 2-1 down at home. And here’s Petro with a lot to aim at.
9:38 · Very good stop by G. He rather telegraphed where he was going to put it. Given out sharply he had to get across his lines.
9:47 · He’s at his he’s near post and the ball is played wide. Shake given. And then he has to scamper across his goal line. I think the touch from Petra just enables Shi to have a good look at where Sage taking over company but Torres there. I think Ryan Van Persie’s got a touch of crump. Well, we hope it’s that and not the another hamstring.
10:14 · I think Craig Bellamy summed it up very well. you know, you you do push the body beyond its limits when you become an ex player.
10:23 · Uh I think he was cramping up and all he wanted is to get a a quick drink and and carry on carry on playing, but the way is he’s is moving and sometimes you forget how good this play has been in the Premier League.
10:35 · Be honest, we worried after 2 minutes.
10:38 · It wasn’t 2 minutes, it was 28 seconds. [laughter] Now also as well talk me through Michael Carrick. A Rolls-Royce of a performance tonight already except perhaps Joey Barton who got sent off Vel sharp breaketa. Oh, it’s a lovely ball and had it been on his left foot, I think it might have been 3-1. Petro wants another crack. A left foot like his you can’t blame him even at 40 years old.
11:21 · Now Benjani Petro again I don’t think he’s going to take Sha Given by surprise is he? It’s a couple of attempts that he’s hadn’t been and competitive who may They have had some chats in the past. Some cards would have been shown by Mark Poly to go times of this challenges like that that are clearly fouls. And he turns around to the referee and says, “What?” Yeah, another Dutchman. Oh, it’s an equalizer from Benjani.
12:06 · back with a bang and that famous celebration of the Zimbabwe international 22. This is all about his desire to get on the end of a very straight free kick. It’s not easy to guide this away from a goalkeeper and the ball is moving away from you. The timing in a jump is perfect. No chance for Shay Given to keep that out. The 90 minutes are up and it’s finished. A joyous finale for Vincent company.
