What a brilliant display of character and determination from the team tonight, great stuff. After going 2-0 down inside nine minutes you're fearing the worst, but nobody hid, nobody wilted, and deservedly came away with a draw and two vital away goals. Really bossed the first half after their second goal, and while Juve were improved in the second half I still think we were the better team in that half too. The penalty miss by Higuain on the stroke of half time was a slice of luck, but I think we earned that bit of luck with our overall performance.
Dembele once again outstanding, Eriksen was superb, and everyone else had really good games too. I was really happy to see Lamela getting a start in a big match and putting in a top notch performance, Dele was very good tonight too, wonderful pass to set up the Kane goal. A shame about the moments of silliness at the back from Aurier and Davis to give away the penalties. If Aurier could sort out his occasional rashness at the back he'd be a top player, because I thought he was really really good going forwards. Hopefully it's something Poch will eventually coach out of him, as he did with Kyle Walker.
Anyway, great night, a really good match, and we've given ourselves a really good chance to progress. I can't wait for the second leg at Wembley! COYS!
