3 points. It's been so long. That felt so good.
Elated for Højlund. Well deserved. Hopefully he kicks on now.
Dalot is a left back. The kids are alright.
Merry Christmas everyone! What a gift.
Great game...haven't had this feeling for a long time!
And yes, very happy for Hojlund.
This team...
It’s a wild ride
Absolutely different team in the second half
Schrodinger United.
Yeah. So much better
I never doubted it for one second...
It’s nice to watch a game like that after the fact.
Another poorly conceded goal....
They beat our press easily in the first 30, put us under a lot of pressure, giving away the set pieces that lead to goals. Since then our press has worked better and Villa haven’t had any control. Hopefully we can continue with that pressure and convert chances
At this point I'm just begging for us to score a goal
Nice pass from Mainoo to set up the play for the 2nd goal there
