Review
We played better today, especially once we got our first equalizer from Gibbs-White's beautiful little back-heel! And the fact we got another from Elliot Anderson with 10 minutes to go meant we finally got some goals at The Etihad and got a league point. With West Ham winning at Fulham, we were in the relegation zone until the second goal went it.
