3) United failed to resist any of City's counter attacks
One of the most significant occurrences of the game was the swift flowing counter attacks being executed by the City attackers throughout the game for fun.

De Bruyne absolutely ripped apart through the Majority of United's line up as he managed to feed the forwards with numerous brilliantly placed balls in desirable positions out of nowhere.
