00:01you know all good things must come to an end but sometimes even the greatest also do for 10
00:09extraordinary years we've been treated to the most exhilarating moments of our city watching lives
00:15we've witnessed unparalleled success the record books have been completely rewritten and today
00:22the Etihad Stadium has the opportunity to say thank you to the man who's made our dreams come
00:27true in blue as we say farewell to Pep Guardiola Foden plays a long ball out to the far and
00:39Savino's got the ball he keeps it in play getting into the penalty area darting forward Rinders hits
00:46the shot into the side netter it's a really good run from Rinders who thought he was getting the
00:51ball initially it went over to Savino in the end he continued his run but put it into the side
00:57netter
01:08Diaz on to Bernardo Silva Bernardo Silva to Rinders Rinders back to Nico it's a strange old game
01:15this one Bernardo Silva down to the left-hand side and Savino what I mean by that is the intensity
01:21is
01:21lacking as Bernardo Silva almost went through and it was saved by Bizot's legs there's one of your
01:26chances I thought it was coming when you said it before so John Stone's set piece chance of scoring
01:32Bernardo Silva will keep sneaking forward he'll try and nick a goal it's only human
01:46just getting towards the edge of the final third on to Savino Savino in the crossing position
01:51and it will disappear out for a corner on the far side another opportunity there we see Nathan Ake they
01:58were getting the block on weren't they for Ake to take that late run
02:03they're all clumped aren't they around the goalkeeper different set up yes whipped in oh it's glanced backwards
02:09Semenyo turns it in there was a near post flick I think off of Villa head actually and it sat
02:16up for Semenyo and he side foot volleyed it into the corner of the Villanette and City are in front
02:22it was a near post delivery I'm pretty sure it was an Aston Villa head that glanced it on and
02:28Semenyo with a controlled side foot put it into the Villa goal 1-0 City
02:33it's a really good finish a difficult one actually as he just guides it into that far corner he just
02:39flicks it with an instep really good one
02:47Mings clears it and Douglas Luiz oh he's giving it straight to Bernardo Silva who clips it into Semenyo Semenyo
02:54drifting on to Foden Foden on to Rinders Rinders to Lewis City in the penalty area Lewis now looking for
03:01an angle Lewis turns oh good little spin as well and then it reaches Savino Savino wide and not by
03:10much it's a corner
03:12really well played Ricoh really well played Ricoh Lewis he's spun into space and put a lovely ball across and
03:18then he fizzed the ball little deflection we think that just missed that far post
03:29Rinders looking for the right pass drifting forward spins away it breaks for Foden Foden can accelerate here is Phil
03:38Foden into the box he goes on towards Rinders
03:41and Bezot helps it over the bar for a corner
03:45Foden would have carried on and see how he rinders are and he nicked it off him and then turned
03:50and that strike really quickly under his body we got it away goalkeeper sort of falling back a good right
03:56hand as he just flicked it away
04:03forward come Villa looking to spoil today's party and they've just won their first corner through Matty Cash
04:11lots of players in and around James Trafford
04:14Bailey whips it in and oh it was it's in it is in it looked like it was going to
04:19be an own goal and then Watkins turned it over the line
04:22it was a congested penalty area and Diaz tried to clear it and in the end it was turned over
04:30the line by Ollie Watkins it's 1-1
04:33well the ball's just gone right across to that back post it's just hit John Stones
04:36literally stands there waits Ollie Watkins turns reacts
04:41instinctive finish drills it into the bottom corner
04:45so off comes Antoine Semenyo on comes Ryan Scherke
04:50and Matty Okovacic is also coming on and he will replace Bernardo Silva
04:57so here we go
04:58he takes off the captain's armband he gives it to Ruben Diaz
05:03and all the players have gone over to the sideline
05:07there is a line of players ready to do a guard of honour because off comes Bernardo Silva
05:15the 460th appearance as a Manchester City player and he's last
05:27now the ball forward Watkins is onside just about Watkins will go forward Watkins tries to go through
05:34and scores and now the flag goes up for offside
05:38well it was tight it was tight I feel that will be very tight
05:43Watkins jumps back on and waits for the trap this is tight
05:47it's so in fact I think it's on because of the far side
05:50John Stones asked the question early didn't he
05:53it was like a desperate one as the official then went
05:55go on I'm going to put the flag up
05:59so Oli Watkins goal stands and Aston Villa lead 2-1 here
06:04and the Villa fans are absolutely delighted
06:12Nico helps it on
06:13now it's with Scherke
06:15Scherke on the edge of the area
06:16couple of step overs
06:17shot right across the face of the goal
06:19goal kick
06:20well there he is
06:22someone who really likes to entertain step over onto that right foot
06:28and the space is there
06:29he hits it so well
06:38but it breaks
06:39yeah it breaks for Buendia
06:40Buendia coming forward
06:41on it goes down the left hand side
06:43and Trafford makes a magnificent save
06:46and it spins away and out for
06:49a throw to City
06:53so off comes
06:54John Stones for the last time

07:16Docu in the left wing position
07:18Docu comes back on the inside
07:20and bends it round the post
07:22not quite this time
07:23that's like the signature new move
07:26from Jeremy Docu
07:27it was
07:27it was coming all the way
07:28we knew didn't we
07:29it's just curling all the way back round
07:32until that was that top corner

08:08if they
08:09spoil everything
08:10it's so tight
08:12oh it's going to be ruled out
08:13I think
