The last minute goal enabling Celtic to equalise with Man City must go down in history as the best bit of luck ever. I've never seen such a fluke by any player kicking an overhead backwards shot. --- Perfect goal though.

Well done both sides.

    I don't think I was mistaken when I saw  Moussa Dembele kick that lucky overhead shot which made it into the net.  Looked quite spectacular.   Saved Celtic from defeat.

    The game ended "3 all" and both teams played well during the times I was able to watch the TV  

    You are right, that goal was just after half time

    I thought it was Man City who came from behind 3 times to get a draw as well.

    Correct. Celtic were never behind. 

    Great game, great atmosphere, fair result. Really enjoyed being there.

    The only thing that really  matters in any football match is the score at the end of the  game.

    Thats what determines the best team on the day.

    If there is a draw then no team has really won anything.

    I'm sure you will agree.

    But your OP was therefore inaccurate, I'm sure you will agree

    Celtic didn't "equalise" in the last minute, therefore no "luck" involved!

    LOL!

    Wink

    To quote one national nwspaper:

    "City were behind three times before scrambling a 3-3 draw in the Champions League Group Game at Celtic Park in what was an impressive display by the Scottish champions."

    Cheers

    Scottish champion soccer team is nothing to shout about. Scottish football is crap as the English keep telling us and I agree, Celtic are just a little less crap than the rest of the Scottish teams.

    It was a real shame that the other half of the old firm  We're destroyed not by their playing ability but by boardroom financial irregularities. 

    Shame as up to then they were the best team in Scotland.

    As a rugby fan I have no allegiance to any Scottish soccer team so I can be totally unbiased.
