    That was the chance, that was a fabulous chance. He tried to bend it round Ederson, and Leicester will be being cursed on Merseyside, that's a certainty.

    It's gone quiet inside the ground now. Pure tension. Any mistake now could be terminal.

    Kurt Booth: Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Had to be Mr Man City to rescue them, for now at least.

    David Freedman: It ain’t over til the fat lady sings, but she’s warming up.

    Poor old Liverpool. The best runners up ever, by the looks of it. Goals like Kompany's only happen when fate has already made up its mind.

    Manchester City continue to push as Kyle Walker gets into the area but his cross is charged down. Give it a few minutes and they will surely have to defend a bit. Can't throw this away now. Or can they?

    That goal was just...ridiculous really. Has Vincent Kompany ever hit a shot like that in his life?

    I've just seen the ultimate replay angle. It kissed the underside of the bar on its way in. Brazilian-esque bender.

    I thought that goal might have calmed Pep Guardiola down. I was wrong.

    He is even more animated now.

    Brilliant.

    There were people near me saying 'no' when Vincent Kompany lined that one up.

    Good job he didn't follow their advice. That goes alongside his header in the Manchester derby in 2012 that turned the title race Manchester City's way.

    Every time the replay was shown on the big screen there was a cheer.
