“GET WELL SOON EDDIE!”
Az heed coach ‘Steady Eddie’ watched on from hiz hospital bed in the RVI near SJP (so we were told), hiz team a few hundred yards away didn’t let him doon!
The Toon were on the front foot from the start az we attacked the Leazes End goal!
The goal sequences were az follows:
24th minute: After sustained pressure we finally took the lead when Isak set up Tonali who vollied a shot past rookie Moan U goalie Bayinder, who had replaced Onana due to some horrendous errors at Lyon in the Europa Leegue last week!
37th minute: Several more chances to double wor lead went ‘a beggin’ and we paid the price when a rare Moan U attack saw Dalot pass to Garnacho, who hit a shot that went in off the post with ‘The Pope’ in the Toon goal beaten! HT 1-1
49th minute: Bruno finds Livramento, who in turn finds Murphy at the far post. He lays a nice pass to Barnes, who 🔥 fires home from close range to restore wor lead! 2-1 to us!
64th minute: A stumble by Mazraoil lets in Harvey Barnes, who raced towards the Gallowgate goal and hit a superb shot past Bayinder, to put us 3-1 up!
77th minute: Rookie goalie Bayinder passes to Joelinton by misstayk and he heeds it doon to unmarked Bruno and he said “thank you very much!” az he had the simple task of firing into an empty net to complete the rout! By this time most of the MU Muppets had departed for trains 🚂 to King’s Cross and anywhere nee where near Manchester! 4-1 FT
The roar of the crowd at the full time whistle could be heard at the RVI!
“Can yoo hear us Eddie Howe!?”
Attendance: 52,252 (It should be noted that for the forst time ever that there were empty seats in the Moan U sections!)
