Great win. I thought we'd put in a good effort like we've seen in some of our "comeback" games before against Spanish teams, but I didn't expect us to be so good and them quite so poor. I knew they were poor but they have so many issues on and off the field. I love it. Koeman is a club man doing them a favour, he took on a poisoned chalice.
So many good performances. McKennie nice goal and play and played the last 25 with no gas. Ronaldo fairly quiet but got two pens. Morata very good before he tired. Arthur I thought was good. Cuadrado as well. Defence concentrated and De Ligt great apart from that challenge that would have been a pen but for offside. Special mention for Buffon as well. 42 years old but you see his fundamentals there the way he controlled every shot.
Chalk and cheese with the league. You won't see any Serie A minnow leaving us gaps like that, it's almost a different sport. But if we apply the same intensity to those games we will find ways to win games.
First the late derby win in a poor performance and then a big morale boost here, but it will vanish if we don't win the next league game.
