57 min: United spend a little bit of time in City’s final third. City are happy to sit back, leaving no gaps. United can’t work out a way through. James eventually clatters Otamendi, knee to knee. It’s no more than a foul, though VAR sticks its neb in, looking for trouble that isn’t there.
55 min: Mahrez tries to keep a loose ball in play down the right. Williams comes sliding in at 100mph. He’s fortunate not to make contact with Mahrez, because that was reckless. Mahrez does him a favour by leaping out of the way and giving up the goal kick. Williams has looked impressive on the front foot; he’s been a bit shaky in defence.
