All eyes are on Manchester City's Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening, but those who tuned in to the EDS' Premier League 2 match on Monday night witnessed an extraordinary game.
Brian Barry Murphy's side came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, courtesy of two superb injury time goals from two of City's brightest young talents. Liam Delap — who ended the night with two goals and one assist — pulled one back in the 93rd minute with a stunning long-range strike. The 19-year-old striker then turned provider by crossing for James McAtee to volley home a 94th minute equaliser at the back post, sparking wild celebrations.
The win extended the Blues' lead at the top of the table to six point with two games remaining, although second place West Ham do have two games in hand.

City supporters are well aware of the huge potential that Delap and McAtee have to become first team regulars at City, but it's fair to say that the duo's latest exploits sent fans online into overdrive. This is what the fans were saying afterwards:
@macwills95: Just knew as soon as he connected with the ball it was going in.
@Mo_Aziz17: Can we stop Haaland deal? and make this man great for world football.
@Mrmilessc: Delap's ready for the first team. If we're goalless at 70 mins this fella should be our plan B.
@D2588Ryan: Two epic goals in injury time. Quality.
@majestic_foden: That second Delap goal and McAtee's goal were amazing.
@bluedoody: Gonna be a baller me thinks.
@pepology: Future is so bright.
u/Jazano107: Wonder how we will fit Delap with Haaland and Alvarez if we do get Haaland. Alvarez could maybe be right-wing and then Delap second choice striker I guess.
