City serve up football d’escalier, the perfect riposte a little too late The French have a phrase for things such as this. L’esprit de l’escalier describes that moment on the stairs when you think of exactly the right witty riposte, just 10 minutes too late. There was something of that spirit here on an engrossing mid-summer night at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City played like princes, made Liverpool gasp for air and handed out a thrillingly fluent, thrillingly pointless 4-0 thrashing to the club football champions of the world. This was Premier League football de l’escalier, the perfect riposte a beat too late.

Raheem Sterling was his team’s star, scoring while also creating the opener in what augurs nicely for City’s upcoming Champions League campaign. “Next season the manager said we need to go out here and try to do our best and that next season starts today and I think we did well,” the forward said.

Broad joins the 500 club: still angry, still fiery and still getting better The Sunday after the Lord’s Test in 2005, England’s under-19 team played a one-day game against Sri Lanka at New Road.
