28' De Bruyne spots Walker in space and picks out the full-back, who dispatches a low strike past Ramsdale from 20 yards.
28' GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! WALKER PUTS CITY AHEAD!!! 1-0!! Walker belts a low strike on the half-volley towards the target and it beats the hand of Ramsdale to find the bottom-left corner. Sterling starts the move to open up the United defence. A cross-field pass from De Bruyne finds Walker in space and he does the rest with a fine finish.
26' Dias lifts a ball over the top towards Torres. Ramsdale comes off his line to close down the Spaniard, who fails to fire on goal, although he's offside anyway.
