00:00It's all given away by Martian, that's a rarity, this is Holden, White making the run ahead of him, he's had to check as Holden holds it up for Sheeran, now Flickcroft is tied, he's run perfectly, and the finish wasn't quite perfection, it's a really good chance, the best of the game so far, Niall Quinn with David White to his right, Quinn going it alone, Cooper's legs did enough,
00:29Holden maybe, Cooper's stranded, could have gone down, didn't, and they have to make do with the corner, well four marks to Rick Holden, Manchester City may not thank him for it, but he certainly had a chance to go down in the box there and make it awkward for the referee, Quinn had the best chance, but Holden tried to stay on his feet, tried to take the chance, and a corner is all he got,
00:51Holden takes the corner, Cooper comes, not the greatest punch in the world, helped out by Mark Walters, now Barnes, plenty happening to his left, here's Marsh, here's Barnes, Walters rush ahead of him, McManaman to his right,
01:08and Steve McMahon, and Steve McMahon, he just seems to be everywhere at the moment, got back to, you can see the corner, 25 minutes into this first half, you want to be with the corner,
01:22Kotan has come and made a punch, Jamie Red now, Ian Rush,
01:27way by Quinn, this is Sheeran,
01:31looking for Holden,
01:35he's managed to bypass David White,
01:38Mike Marsh tidying up,
01:40then Torben Pitnick, and look at that for a pass to Mark Walters,
01:43three against two for a moment,
01:45Walters, into the penalty area,
01:48well they had Barnes and McManaman in support,
01:51but nobody scored more Premier League goals for Liverpool this season than Mark Walters,
01:57and he fancied his chances again there,
01:59and he had a pretty good angle,
02:02but he was wide of the target,
02:04right wing,
02:05and having a run at Bjornaby,
02:08he's played it in to David White,
02:10and now Flickcroft is offside,
02:12this won't count,
02:13White lets it in,
02:14the flag is waving,
02:18Terry Phelan's long distance run set it up,
02:20but Flickcroft, the furthest man forward there is the key,
02:23and when White plays it,
02:25Steve Nickley's behind him,
02:26Flickcroft looks onside there,
02:28the flag went up,
02:30but maybe it was against Mike Sheeran in the foreground,
02:34Mike Hooper managed to deny Flickcroft,
02:36David White ran it into the net,
02:38but the flag had been up for a couple of seconds already,
02:41not so far,
02:42and if I marsh,
02:54then by Kerb,
02:55and by Marsh again,
02:56Red Knapp,
02:58you can get over Phelan,
02:59Quinn holding off nickel,
03:15finding Sheeran,
03:16turned away from Bjornaby,
03:17Mike Sheeran with a chance,
03:19defending by nickel,
03:20still a chance for Brightwell,
03:21and now for Quinn,
03:23it's in,
03:24off the post,
03:25now Quinn has scored for Manchester City,
03:27and it has been coming,
03:29and now Quinn has not had the most prolific season,
03:32in front of goal for Manchester City,
03:34was one of four,
03:35queuing up for that cross for me,
03:36and Brightwell,
03:37Steve Nichol got in a challenge,
03:39but just Camden here,
03:40beyond Mike Hooper,
03:42they were forming an orderly queue,
03:50and being toppled by Hill,
03:56Barnes taking the free kick,
03:57Red Knapp trying to steal in,
03:58but McMahon's there,
04:03you want to beat him,
04:07way by Hill,
04:10Jones,
04:14Manchester City are a bit stretched here,
04:17cross is deflected,
04:18Ian Rush on the volley,
04:20pick that out,
04:25well they haven't been flying in like that,
04:26all season for him,
04:28but it's still Ian Rush we're talking about here,
04:30it's still the most prolific goal scorer,
04:32in Liverpool's history,
04:34and it's still one of the very best in the business,
04:37that is a great strike,
04:39bang,
