"Raheem Sterling with the Riyadh Mahrez and … touchdown!"
Monday the Premier League puts the NFL at Wembley.
When Tottenham hosted Manchester City Jaguars it was the pitch that had everyone talking.
It looks like a football field and more like a gridiron with the markings, NFL logo and wear and tear of an American football match visible.
You could have been forgiven for thinking the Manchester City Mavericks were playing the Tottenham Titans.
And when Sterling put City in front early in the first quarter, you did not disappoint with NFL-related social media using #bbcfootball:
Mark Galloway: A 75-yard punt from Ederson and a Trippier fumble set up Sterling to reverse pass to Mahrez. TOUCHDOWN Citizens.
Frank: As A Neutral I'm Only Tuning Into Wembley to See Destiny's Child with Beyonce at the Interval.
FiGJaM1175: Does the "NFL" in the middle of the pitch at Wembley stand for "Not Finished Lane"?
Steven Kempton: First down Tottenham on their own 10.
And when Erik Lamela smashed a late chance to equalise over the bar from 12 yards, there was an inevitable response:
Matt Wilkinson: Erik Lamela is one day too late for that field goal!
'The pitch was very difficult'
Match-winner Mahrez had no problems scoring his goal, but Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld was less than happy with the surface.
The Belgium International said: "I have to be honest, it has been very good, it has been very difficult."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino appeared to blame a bobble on the surface for midfielder Lamela missing his clear-cut opportunity for a late equalizer.
"For both sides it was the same," said Pochettino. "Watching the action with Lamela, the ball bounced before he touched it" It was a little unlucky goal for both sides – it was a difficult pitch to play. "
City Manager Pep Guardiola said: "It's a question for the Premier League and Tottenham." Hopefully they can solve that problem.
'A non-league surface'
The ball bobbled across brown, worn patches on the field caused by the players, coaches, backroom staff, officials and cheerleaders who had been at Wembley a day earlier.
BBC Radio 5 live pundit and former Premier League striker Chris Sutton described it as a "non-league" surface.
Arsenal and England forward Ian Wright added: "It's ridiculous they're playing on this pitch." Manchester City should complain.
Tottenham's new White Hart Lane stadium was supposed to be open on September 15, 2011 at 9:00 pm
Wembley had already agreed to host Sunday's NFL fixture.
