Brightwell Symons Kernaghan Ingram
Summerbee McGoldrick Lomas Horlock
Kinkladze
Rösler
The game started scrappily and for a while there seemed to be shades of a lack of willingness to mix it up. But after ten minutes, City picked up and started stringing more than two passes together at a time. After the opening own-goal by Phil Gilchrist, which looked more like a typical R
