Favourite game in all competitions was when becoming World Champions. Sadly, the achievement didn't get the recognition it deserves, but I always wanted us to win it, now we have it and it still feels fantastic. I don't know how long it will last, but hopefully it will be a while longer than winning the League Cup, the competition some were telling us to prioritise instead, at the time. In our absence, someone less successful than ourselves won it. Never has so much money being spent on a team just to win the League Cup.
In the league, probably the most important win of the season was v Wolves at home. It was an awful performance where the team hit the wall after the recent excursions and exertions, and we were seriously tested despite having an extra 24 hours rest. And under the old ref system, we would have lost our unbeaten home record. Under VAR, the camera could not be conned so justice was done on the spot, turning around a certain loss into a 1-0 win, 50 home league games unbeaten, and a 14 point lead going into the new year.
