X reacts as Man City lift Club World Cup

Manchester City won yet another piece of silverware this year as they cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Fluminense in the final of the Club World Cup.

It was a walk in the park from the first whistle, with Julian Alvarez opening the scoring just 40 seconds into the game as he managed to scramble home the rebound from a ferocious Nathan Ake long-ranger.

City remained in control but feared they may have invited Fluminense back into the game when Ederson conceded a penalty midway through the half for tripping German Cano.

A penalty was awarded but quickly overruled by the offside flag, and a VAR check that lasted a matter of seconds verified Ruben Dias had played the offside trap to perfection.

Phil Foden soon flipped the narrative back to one of control for City as he forced an own goal from centre-back Nino that doubled his side's advantage.

While a comfortable victory was on the cards, City fans were left sweating at the sight of Rodri screaming in pain on the ground after being caught by a nasty challenge.

Rodri would eventually be forced off injured, but not before Foden made sure to grab a goal of his own.

Alvarez found himself through down the left and drilled a low cross in for the England international, who could hardly miss from close range.

Alvarez bagged his second of the game in the dying embers, fizzing into the bottom corner to tie the record for biggest victory in a Club World Cup final.

While City pushed for that fifth, it was not forthcoming.

It mattered little in the end, however, with fans on social media simply delighted to get their hands on a new trophy.
