    Liz Tray: Mudryk cost £89m and has made no impression at Chelsea. And he is one of many. Every big club has a Mudryk. So when people talk about City spending, it's a red herring. It's not about how much, it's about who wants to come and who they are coming for (Pep).

    Noel Fitzpatrick: That's a clear handball from Mahrez???! A blind man could see that. Why does it take so long for VAR to see it??!!

    Matty AFC: What a waste of everyone's time getting Michael Oliver to look at that blatant handball on the monitor. Praying that we get rugby style video refereeing soon, including the authority to make decisions, as well as the audio feed for viewers.

    Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne almost link up immediately, but Haaland is prevented from getting away by a strong tackle from behind. No free-kick, though.

    Mudryk has been a big disappoinment since he arrived.

    It's his first season and he needs time to adapt so that should be a top priority for the next manager in at Chelsea.

    If City do win the treble, I’m sure it’ll be seen under Pep’s achievements, rather than City’s.. seeing as City have become who they are under him.

    If Haaland had been on for 10 or 15 minutes he would have put that chance away.

    His movement is amazing, he's always looking to try and peel off in behind the defence.

    City have had their blips but they've been outstanding at the business end of the season.

    If they go on to win the treble it will be incredible and probably Pep Guardiola's greatest achievement.

    Great defending by John Stones to deny Raheem Sterling!

    Ah, it wouldn't have counted anyway, but Stones wasn't to know.

    Sterling breaks clear, getting the better of Kyle Walker before squeezing a shot past Stefan Ortega, only to see Stones get back and clear off the line.
