Manchester City Score Eight In Vietman
Our pre-season round up of Monday's action is a little quieter as the various tours prepare to come to an end but there is news of a comprehensive win for Manchester City on their summer tour.
Vietnam 1 Manchester City 8
Aleks Kolarov, Raheem Sterling and David Silva all scored twice as the twice Premier League Champions ran riot in their latest tour game at the My Dinh Stadium.
Marcos Lopes and Jose Angel Pozo completed the scoring to sign off their July trip in consummate style.
A last minute goal for Vietman was of course nothing more than consolation and City will now head back to the UK before a game in Stuttgart at the weekend.
Raheem Sterling: "The most impressive thing [about Vietnam] was the people here — they’re really welcoming, they love football and to be welcomed in the way we were was really heart-warming.
"I’m really happy to be here and hope I can come back again soon.”

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
