The Tuchel revival is real! They left it so very, very late but it was a deserved win for the Sons against a Cers side who appear to be distracted by an off-field feud with Maychester.

The Allegri era got off to a stuttering start at the Martyrdome, where the home team reacted with a vengeance to going behind just after the break. Keeping Bailey quiet seemed to do most of the job, although an even split on possession will leave the tiki-taka die-hards unsatisfied.

Huge game for fans of deja vu, this, as Maychester conceded the same goal twice in four minutes by conceding a free kick just left of centre outside the penalty box. Both times Militao – of all people – curled it into the near corner with precision. Perhaps the Dawgs’ title hopes could yet be restored but the hosts will be very disappointed; Ocampos in particular looked hopeless out there.

RED Bruno Fernandes 77′

What a difference it makes to get back your best striker. This wasn’t Surreal at their fluent best but Immobile tested the Weasels back line just enough, with the home side struggling to create consistent chances on the counter as they prefer to do.

The scoreline looks close but the Farce were a clear level above every Ducks player not named Luis Alberto. Some of their football was pure theatre, particularly Suarez’s second, which included some truly ludicrous touches while Sane notched up his second assist of the day. Zoratti’s side just could not live up to their playmaker’s example despite another marauding Hakimi goal.

Another of what’s a still-growing number of exceptional days out for Mbappe, who often proves the difference for this slightly inconsistent Mancs side. Is this the season he delivers on his promise with Gobshite glory?

I’m not saying all games aren’t hard but, when you’re taking control of a faltering team for the first time, you don’t usually want to be doing it against an on-his-game Ronaldo. Giroud hitting the bar in stoppage time will sting a bit, though.

For me, Clive, that’s a lot of goals. More than you’d expect to see in the average game, I can tell you that much.

Well, this was hardly the performance of champions from a Halfman side who were looking to solidify a clear lead. It was only late in the game, after new boss Henry had his side retreat deep, that they mounted any kind of sustained pressure, and it wasn’t anywhere near enough against a back line well marshaled by Marquinhos.
