PAULO WANCHOPE WINS THE PENALTY AND NICOLAS ANELKA SCORESFROM THE RESULTANT SPOT-KICK
WHAT THE PRESS SAID
Nicolas Anelka ensured Manchester City came through a potentially embarrasing night in Belgium with their pride intact. The France Striker scored a 19th minute penalty to give Kevin Keegan’s side a 4-2 aggregate success. Lokeren fans were in high spirits at the start despite their team having failed to win in 17 league outings since the spring, a sequence which has left them at the foot of the Belgian league after finishing third last season.Neil Johnston THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 16th October 2003
