MAN CITY 4-1 BLACKPOOL | HIGHLIGHTS

guardiola has just completed five years as manager of manchester city what an extraordinary five years it's been now mahrez wins the ball back gunduan has it suddenly city in with a chance already and they might well take the lead through he does it well he scored in his previous two pre-season friendlies against preston and barnsley and he's done it again sammy dozer now scored in three pre-season friendlies in a row and he is to be applauded for doing so just 18 years old and what an extraordinary week it's been for him night shows for him breaks off him and blackpool diaz had a little nibble says the referee nafari takes a tumble blackpool have the penalty in pre-season you iron out the kinks and get the rust in the sound of your system [Music] rupert diaz can be afforded that as garbage tries to took in the penalty and he's dispatched it sweetly zac stefan went one way the ball very firmly into the roof of the other side of the net now fernandinho support from joao cancelo scooped passes inch perfect to riamares [Music] back to joe cancelo it was a nice combination between the two they've really been combining sweetly in both the previous pre-season friendlies and ciao cancello very much on each other's wavelength and i suspect the right-back will be a little disappointed that he couldn't get that lower and they'd test out stuart moore in blackpool goal here's mendy [Music] gets the return ball from mindy again lands a fabulous pass at the foot of riyad mahrez that's a really nice ball to idosie he goes for it and more carries it has picked him out he does he almost picked out the corner of the net there's ciao cancello into the path of palmer and back to joe cancello opens up to be hit and he'll be so disappointed because he was in a glorious position to score look at the way he drives forward and almost demands the pass from palmer and then his technique lexi lets him down right at the end just slices off the outside of his boot and away from goal rather than toward it pretty sure that the man with no name is tyrese john jules who's not officially listed on the team sheet but has signed online from arsenal [Applause] i've seen john jules many many times up against city it's a casey live wire an attacking minded player pretty sure it's he who is crept onto the field anyway here's mahrez for city terrific finish and he keeps his goal of game record of the pre-season as well only does he marrow scored against preston a week ago they were both on the scoresheet against barnsley on saturday and now they're both on the scoresheet against blackpool and what a wonderful finish that was can't underestimate how difficult to finish that is because there's only one place that he can actually put this because grimshaw has the angles covered and with his weaker foot very left-footed player mahrez he has just guided that ever so gently and ever so precisely into the net although grimshaw did get a piece of it from casey city of taking the corner meanwhile and diaz almost gets there and aka does as well neither do and it goes out for a goal kick another wicked ball into the box and look how close both diaz and aka were to getting tamar as his delightful swung ball into the far stick beautiful flight on this ball from morris oh agony here's morris for city he was bundled to the floor and before he eventually gives city the free kick [Applause] those are exactly the kind of runs that made gunduan such a prolific scorer last season he's almost unnoticed by the blackpool players who by the time they did see him it was too late and gunduan was prodding it into the corner of the net so he does he's still attacking from the left mahrez from the right bernardo silva on the same side as mahrez two of them have combined so many times from that city right anyway here's he does he down the city left he has palmer by the center spot for the penalty spot and he brings in for dino to hit it and deflection almost took it into the net and grimshaw made the save nicely teed up by adozie and fernandinho hits it crisply it struck the legs of casey and grim short made the save [Music] here's morris probably touched the ball more than anyone out there this evening ciao cancello up towards gunduan again he's stolen in again he's finished well last season was certainly no flash in the past city's top scorer always seems to time his runs to perfection and with players like mahrez around those runs aren't unnoticed this time played in by cancello gets beyond the last defender and just taps it past grimshaw gets his second goal of the evening city's fourth and well how good a finisher has okay gunduan demonstrated himself today in the last 12 months sander was quickly in there mcatee who's also looked impressive clever ball maurice all that would have been very special and guardiola put his hands to his head it may be pre-seasons but he would have loved that acrobatic goal of acrobatic attempt to turn into a goal wonderful from mahrez the scissors get out by makati [Music] and that is the end of the game a tremendous pre-season for city really 10 goals scored just one conceded pep guardiola very satisfied with what he's seen riyad mahrez has looked brilliant throughout pre-season scored again for the third match running attitude sammy does it a penalty by luke garber it's the only goal that city have conceded in the three friendlies they played and two goals from ilkay gunduan which made it 3-1 and 4-1 just showed that he has not lost his scoring touch you have to say that pre-season has offered so many positives for the blues ahead of the community shield on saturday plenty of first teamers have got minutes into their legs good to see the likes of benjamin mendy on for the full 90 today mahrez as well and throw in some excellent cameos from some of the younger players like the morning picture josh knight cole palmer he dosey who scored in all three games and really pre-season couldn't have gone much better so whether you count the first day of the season the game against leicester in the community shield on saturday or whether you say that it's the friendly against spurs sorry the premier league fixture against spurs the following sunday either way the three games in preparation for that have concluded with three wins for the blues the latest of them 4-1 against blackpool
