In the dying minutes of the game, Ajax’s Anthony - who had been brilliant all night - pushed his head into Darwin Nunez’s to give the referee a decision to make. Luckily for the Brazilian, the ref only issued a yellow card. It means he remains eligible for the return leg, but it was a senseless risk from Anthony to lose his cool with minutes to go. It could - and probably should have - been a red card.
It meant 22-year-old full-back Nuno Tavares was drafted in as Tierney's replacement for just his seventh league start of the season, and his lack of minutes clearly showed as he was partly at fault for the Eagles' two first-half goals.

That City midfield line-up is also harder to predict now with Kevin de Bruyne back to his brilliant best. I think I would advise going for Foden and Silva as the double-up but if you can afford De Bruyne then pair him up with one of those two. But don't sell Mohamed Salah for De Bruyne. Not yet.

I am super happy, we need him in this kind of shape. The goalkeepers are a strong group. Kepa is a big part of it and Kepa was a big factor today, in the first half especially.

The other is that the players need to show some kind of tactical awareness. Shaw is an obvious example of a player who cannot pay attention on a football pitch; Wan-Bissaka struggles too. But those problems extend to Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, and maybe Marcus Rashford. None of those players are without talent, but none of them make the most of their ability. Either Rangnick needs to develop their engagement, or he needs to boot them out to make replacements who will.
