In a thrilling Premier League match at the crack of dawn on Sunday (6), Manchester City reclaimed top spot in the league table with a narrow 2-1 win over Fulham after an up-and-down battle at home. The victory was a reward for the hard work of the Blue Moon players. Although they were playing with a one-man disadvantage for most of the match, they relied on the miraculous performance of Aynin Xalant, who returned from injury, and scored a 12-yard penalty in the last five minutes of extra time to complete the shutout, which made even the coach, Diego Cordero, so excited that he waved his arms frantically in front of the camera.
Aynin Chalant returned after a two-game absence and came on as a substitute. City thought the game was going to be smooth sailing in the 17th minute when Zulian Ivaris broke through and fired a smart offside shot, however, in the 26th minute, Zouo Janslu was adjudged to have committed a foul when he knocked down Harry Wilson in the penalty area, and received a red card as well. Fulham's Anders Penrina took the penalty to equalize the score. Although City were playing with one man less, they did not give up, and finally in extra time, substitute Ainin Chalantal scored the winning goal after receiving a pass from Chiyun Dibny, making the score 2-1.
After Aynin Xalant's goal, Gordiona was so excited that he made an extremely excited arm raising celebration in front of the camera, a scene that quickly went viral on the internet after the game. Gordiona said: "Facing the disadvantage of 10 to 11, we showed great patience, Stones, Bernardo Schwarz, Lodi and other players played very well. I've been coaching at City for seven years and I'm overwhelmed by every win and I'm so proud of these players."
Aynin Sharrant, who offered a strike on his comeback, became the first player in the history of the Premier League to score 18 goals in the first 12 rounds of the league, and even more amazingly, his father, Sharrant, scored a total of 18 goals in his 10-year career in the Premier League (Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, Manchester City), a record that Aynin Sharrant equaled in just three months.
