Indeed, they did. Really special teams, though, almost have an obligation to win, there's a kind of air of inevitability about it.
It's like playing FIFA at two or three levels above your station (or against your twelve year-old son, in my case); you feel you're doing really well just by staying in the game, but, in the end, unless you score four, you will lose.

I did notice they kept trying to play the ball from the back even when City pressed them up to the edge of the box. I was amazed that they managed to do this under such pressure without feeling the need to knock aimless passes across their own box. I suppose their coach told them not to.
