It turned out to be a thriller of some sorts as Manchester United hosted Monaco in a Champions League face-off as both teams virtually set the Etihad Stadium on fire in an eight goal feast.

That this match produced eight beautiful goals was not a surprise to those who know both teams well as they are well known for an attacking style of football.

Monaco F.C. for example have scored over 100 goals in all competitions this season, And so when goals started pouring in from Sergio Aguero and Radamel Falcao (scored two apiece) – the latter also missing a penalty – Raheem Sterling, Kylian Mbappe, John Stones and Leroy Sane, it was not so great a surprise to ardent followers of the game.

Raheem Sterling opened the flood gates by scoring 26 minutes into the game, but Manchester City could not hold on to their advantage for long as Monaco levelled up through Falcao’s diving header following a poor clearance from Willy Caballero.

Manchester City were then hard done when Aguero was booked for diving instead of being awarded what City felt was a clear penalty and their frustration got even worse when teenager Mbappe put Monaco ahead before the break.
