The moment that gave Thomas Frank 'goosebumps' at City | OneFootball

Thomas Frank described it as a 'defining moment' in our fine 2-0 win at City in the Premier League on Saturday.

However, it wasn't Brennan Johnson's brilliantly-taken first goal, or Palhinha's strike to mark his first start for us in the Premier League, or Guglielmo Vicario's saves to deny Omar Marmoush with City on top in the opening exchanges of the first half.

In fact, we were already 2-0 up, 10 minutes to go and on top, with City struggling to break us down and it looking more likely we'd score a third on the counter.

The moment was Micky van de Ven's block tackle to deny Jeremy Doku on 81 minutes, as City countered from one of our late breaks.

Asked what particularly caught his eye at the Etihad, Thomas told us: "I think a couple of things... in the second half we kept going for 3-0, it’s not like we didn’t want to do that, or we wanted to just see the game out.

"Then the team effort - there is one moment in the game that is defining, I hope it’s defining for a good season, although it’s early, early days. It's in the second half, a transition, 10 players, head down, sprinting back and then ending with Micky’s block. Wow. That gave me goosebumps, because we all want the goal in the top corner, the beautiful play - that, we want as well - but that bit, sprinting back, that will win you a lot of football matches."
