'Special' - Man City fans go wild as Julian Alvarez scores stunner for Argentina vs Poland

Manchester City fans have heaped praise on Julian Alvarez after the forward scored a stunning goal for Argentina during their 2-0 World Cup win against Poland.

Group C's final round of matches saw Poland take on Argentina at Stadium 974 on Wednesday night, as Alvarez was handed a starting role by Lionel Scaloni. Despite the South American's dominance, the scores were level at half-time after Wojciech Szczesny superbly saved a first-half penalty from Lionel Messi.

However, it did not take long for the flood gates to seemingly open after the break, as Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister scored less than a minute after the restart. The strike appeared to settle Argentina down, as they began to click into gear, playing the ball with more purpose and direction.
