I have a lot of time for this photo.
Here is Andy Hunter’s report.
Football clubs need help ...
Stats!
Curtis Jones: “I thought that we started well. Fair play to Lincoln, they turned up and gave us a good game.
“Whenever I am given a chance I will give 100% and I am just waiting for my turn.”
He then picks up his own Man of the Match trophy.
City got there in the end thanks to youngsters Delap and Foden. The future is very bright for those two.
It turns out the Premier League champions are better than an average League One team, who knew? Fair play to Liverpool they were at it from the start and did not give Lincoln much of a sniff.
Liverpool break through Minamino and he lays it off to Origi who takes aim and slams it across the goalkeeper and into the corner from 16 yards.
87 mins: Grant swings a corner straight out of play. I think this game is done.
85 mins: Things are very quiet at Sincil Bank now. Nothing left to see, really.
Tottenham won! David Hytner wrote about it.
I am mainly pleased that City scored as now I hopefully won’t have to Google whether the game goes straight to penalties or if they have extra-time.
BEN FISHER HAS WRITTEN SOME WORDS ABOUT BRISTOL CITY V ASTON VILLA.
I am running around with my shirt above my head as Foden taps home after Mahrez’s shot bounced off the post.
That’s quite funny ...
78 mins: Scully sends in a bouncing cross from the right which makes its way to Archibald but his header from six yards out is straight at Adrian.
76 mins: Jota almost marks his debut with a goal but he pulls his shot just wide from the edge of the area.
74 mins: Liverpool are now just knocking the ball around slowly as it’s not worth doing much else.
Sterling is on for City, too, now!
70 mins: Fabinho hits a low free-kick from just outside the area but it goes just side.
Some Europa League action.
68 mins: Right goals in a match really is too many.
The model jumps highest in the box to head home a corner off the bar and reduce the deficit in the process.
How are things going for Manchester City? They have needed to bring on Kevin de Bruyne to sort stuff out.
And another! Grujic picks up a loose ball on the edge of the area, composes himself and drills it into the corner.
64 mins: Shaqiri flicks the ball through to Tsimikas but his short squirts well wide.
Lincoln get their reward for a better second half, as Edun and Scully combine before the latter caresses the ball into the bottom corner.
59 mins: Grant whips in a free-kick for Lincoln which Eyoma jabs a foot at but that only succeeds in sending it well wide.
56 mins: Elliott claims he was pulled back in the box by Bradley and demands a penalty but the referee takes pity on Lincoln.
54 mins: Jota is stripped and raring to go. Good luck to everyone in the Lincoln defence.
A fine performance from Villa, which should give the team plenty of confidence, especially Traore who scored a fine goal on debut.
50 mins: Lincoln have a couple of chances to score but Liverpool hold firm. The ball is then quickly down the pitch to Origi, who cuts in from the left and hits a vicious strike which Palmer palms away.
Lincoln are still trying to play out from the back, which is either brave or stupid. It’s a fine line.
