What followed was a spirited performance by Villa, a victory for City by the slenderest of margins. If Claudio Bravo hadn’t have pulled off the best save of his City career.
He was 17 at the time and has been a feature of the squad ever since, becoming captain a decade ago. A tall and strong central defender, Lima is proud to have played so many international matches, even if more than 100 of them have ended in defeat. He has only tasted victory five times with Andorra, which has a population of just 77,000, making those moments all the sweeter. Lima identifies a 1-0 win over Hungary in a qualifier for the last World Cup as the highlight of his career, and perhaps the best result in Andorra's history, but he has savoured plenty of unforgettable experiences along the way.

As recent results suggest, the Shrews are a pragmatic side. Such an approach often prevents them from flying in the final third, but it also allows them to restrict teams. Saturday's hosts may have scored just three in their last five, but they've only conceded two, losing just once during that time. Moreover, they're unbeaten in their last three at home, beating solid top-half teams such as Sunderland and Peterborough, neither of whom managed to get on the scoresheet at New Meadow.

Spurs were put out when calls for a handball were dismissed by the ref, only for a handball decision to then go against them moments later, thanks to Jan Vertonghen. It was Troy Deeney who took the penalty, but it was not his best and certainly not enough to outsmart Paulo Gazzaniga.

The FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders are well placed to reach the final of the latter competition - they hold a 3-1 advantage over Manchester United with the second leg of their semi-final to come this Wednesday. And, predictably, they made light work of Fulham to ensure they remain on course for another lengthy run in the FA Cup too.
