FA CUP FOURTH ROUND : LEYTON ORIENT VS MAN CITY – 08/02/2025 (JAMIE DONLEY CELEBRATES HIS WONDERGOAL)

FA CUP : LEYTON ORIENT VS MAN CITY – 08/02/2025

HERE ARE THE KEY MOMENTS… CHECK OUT JAMIE DONLEY’S ‘WONDERGOAL’ WHICH HE SHOT FROM HALFWAY DOWN THE PITCH, AND LANDED ON THE INSIDE TOP PART OF THE POST AND BOUNCED DOWN INTO GOAL (VIA ORTEGA’S BACK), SO HAS TECHNICALLY GONE DOWN AS AN OWN GOAL!  IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE!  IT WAS QUITE A PHYSICAL MATCH, WITH GREALISH HITTING THE DECK A COUPLE OF TIMES, (THESE ORIENT BOYS WERE A TOUGH BUNCH AND REALLY WANTED TO WIN), WITH 2 YELLOW CARDS FOR LEYTON ORIENT AND 1 FOR MAN CITY, BUT NO REDS. AND WITH LEYTON ORIENT HAVING 13 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET, AND MAN CITY HAVING 24 SHOTS, WITH 10 ON TARGET, IT WAS NON-STOP EXCITING ACTION THROUGHOUT!  (AND AN EYE-OPENER AS TO JUST HOW GOOD LEYTON ORIENT ARE!)  AND THEN, IN THE 56TH MINUTE, ABDUKODIR KHUSANOV SCORED A BLINDER, EQUALISING IN THIS ENTHRALLING MATCH, WHICH HAD PEP WEARING THE EAST END GROUND DOWN, WITH HIS “BACKWARDS AND AFORWARDS, FORWARDS AND ABACKWARDSING” AT TIMES, RESISTING THE TEMPTATION TO BRING PHIL FODEN AND KEVIN DE BRUYNE OFF THE BENCH!

AND THEN, IN THE 67TH MINUTE, ENTER KEVIN DE BRUYNE, WHO ‘SEALED THE DEAL’ FOR MAN CITY SHORTLY AFTERWARDS (79 MINS.) WITH AN ABSOLUTE STUNNER, SO THIS EXCITING MATCH CULMINATED IN A 2 – 1 WIN FOR MAN CITY IN AN EXTREMELY HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE, WITH BOTH MANAGER’S HAVING NOTHING BUT GOOD WORDS TO SAY ABOUT EACH OTHER AND THEIR TEAMS AFTERWARDS! LOVELY STUFF!
