Gary Owers could afford a chuckle when the full-time whistle blew after Alan McInally's 3-3 pre-match prediction in the press room came true.
It was a ridiculously thrilling game of football that encapsulated all the emotions inside 90 minutes. Frustration, hope, euphoria, pride and deflation as City came from behind to almost make it three on the spin before a defensive error was punished at the end - how many times have we said that last season?
Although in truth, this game was nothing in comparison to last February. It couldn't have got much worse following a 3-1 defeat in baltic conditions with a performance that left the manager questioning the desire and quality of his squad.
