Tottenham defended brilliantly. To be honest with you, I'd have been gutted if we'd lost that because defeat is something you don't ever want to experience this late on in that fashion. At least a draw brought only disappointment with no loss of honour and feelings of total fallibility you get in defeat. That's not a taste you'd want when you've got two cup finals coming up.
They played and performed like a team that had a full week to rehearse for this. Sadly, we've become a victim of our own success this season what with all the mid week games we've had. Their goal was so weird - we just had a five minute period where it looked like we hit the wall. Properly crashed. They could have scored two in that time but thankfully they didn't.
I would have loved to have seen Salah just be more instinctive today. There were a couple of occasions when he should have pulled the trigger first time but his tendency to shift and shift and shift just lets him and everyone else down. Frustrating. Diaz - phenomenal once again. Mane? Oddly quiet.
Whether it changes anything? Well, we'll see. Always has been in City's hands but you'd have loved to have tested them right to the end.
