The penalty does stand, but you remember one from a little further back than that.

To be fair, the rule wasn't made for moments like that.

But the referee, Bobby Maddy, today has got the decision right, though his boss was in charge of the 2004 League Cup final.

It was Bolton up against Middlesex with the Lennon Stadium.

Niall, you were there.

Bolton's end then.

He has two touches.

Ryder gets it wrong because it stands.

But in terms of the result, Alan, the headline is this is a big win, is it not, in Man City's pursuit of a top-four finish?

Yeah, you can see just so at the importance of the Champions League to these teams because the nervousness that they had in the second half is going to be replicated in the other teams as well as we go into this final sort of period.

But, you know, I feel that Leicester are a little bit unfortunate today.

I think the referees, the decision he makes before that, the first one, is costly today for them.

So Man City got the breaks and got the win.

West Brom next.

Did you see an edgy Man City, particularly second half, after the fluid performance of a week ago?

Excellent performance from Arsenal today when they needed it, too, from Olivier Giroud as he started the game.

And for a change, the Arsenal fans celebrating.

He and Rob Holding are now with Jeff Shreves.

What are they smiling?

Five wins in six.
