Such brilliant control and finish from Barnes. Surrounded by city players and they didn't have a chance. You can also see some of Dias' hops in this video @trainman if you wish to relive this magic moment some more.

He's not on the ground in the picture he just looks it due to the angle, distance of the camera and the poor quality. He makes three hops (this is the first of them), they are very clear in the video replays, and are why in the computer generated image he is correctly off the ground. Here's another angle of the moment the ball is headed by Woltemade where to the naked eye Dias looks ahead of Bruno. At any length I could go on about this for ever as it's just more reason to think about this very important performance and victory for us. If I were you'd I'd let it go and enjoy the fact that your season is going well and Pep has the fire back as evidenced by his carry on after the game.

The bitter fan drawn image that I'm sure took longer than it should have through the tears, has not got the line drawn in the right place up to the outside of Dias' shoulder/upper arm as that area has not been a handball for years even with the arm extended/away from the body. The computer generated graphic accounts for the actual rules which is why it correctly shows Bruno is onside. I think it's Dias doing some sort of skipping hop jump with his arm out that gets us across the line (well actually it gets us behind the line), so thanks Ruben.

Yeah that's lucky. Our second goal though was onside despite it not looking it first glance and that's what has been most intensely discussed in the aftermath of the game. If Barnes didn't score our second I'd have wanted a penalty for the foul/shove on Bruno by Gvardiol whilst he headed the ball. Dias is apparently upset about something Barnes did to Donnarumma from the preceding corner, though I've rematches it and couldn't see anything.

Depends how he's recovered. Trips and Hall would be good with Burn and Botman in central defense. Midfield Bruno, Tonali, Miley then Barnes, Wolte, Elanga. Depending how things are going look to get Ramsey out for a good run out and put Big Joe on as a late wrecking ball and Murphy with a cameo.

En all the other fans clapped him when ee didit an invited his whole family rownd to dinner with em. Popped into this thread to deliver this message from Ken: *incoherent drunk babbling*

It's funny this weekend, yes.

Which ones?

And given they're the bestest and mostest importantest team in the whole world and of all time, then that must be pretty pretty good.

Fucking brilliant win that. Harvey Barnes take a bow. Malick Thiaw take a bow. Tino what a fantastic return. Great game. We needed that.

Thiaw has been incredible throughout.

Murphy with some lovely shithousing after Sandro's majestic fouling.

Certainly did well after Howe subbed him on in the second. A tactical master-stroke.

When the 90+ min is up I want to see the state of the onside line. It could just be that the angle made Dias' shoulder look further back than it was.

Fucking hell can we stop passing it back to Pope please

Fuck yes, thought they were taking that away for sure!

"He's got blood coming from a facial feature... a nose I think" Harvey!!!!!
