A collective gasp went around the main stand as Phil Foden plucked a Kalvin Phillips cross-field pass out of the sky, let it bounce, and guided a lovely lob towards the top corner.
For a second, it looked as though the ball would drop under the bar and into the side netting, but there was just too much on it and the chance went inches wide. It wouldn't take away from a fine return to the team for a player who has done little wrong to find himself out of it.
Starting in central midfield for only the third time this season, Foden was part of a much-changed Manchester City starting XI that reflected the fact that the Premier League title had been won the night before.
