00:00Manchester City got swept up in a game Oldham manager Joe Royal likened to Hurricane Andrew.
00:05His team were two down in eight minutes.
00:08Niall Quinn's first of the new season, made by Michel Vonk,
00:11who claimed the second himself after David White had struck the bar.
00:15But Neil Poynton on his return to Main Road got the final fatal touch.
00:18All a bit hard on his keeper John Haworth.
00:21He'd done so well to spread himself in front of Vonk's shot.
00:24The Hurricane was at full force by the time Oldham replied.
00:28Richard Jobson squirting his header inside an unguarded post.
00:31Twelve minutes played, 2-1 already.
00:34Peter Reid said after the match it could have been 6-0 by half-time.
00:38David White's long striding pace and sure-footed finish gave Reid's side a chink or two of daylight again.
00:45But his achy-brakey defence was soon opening the door at the other end.
00:49Ian Olney and Paul Bernard giving Mike Milligan the chance to show off with some fancy footwork.
00:54Seven minutes before the break, it was as you were.
00:59Six goals, four from set-pieces.
01:02Gunnar Haller drawing the winning ticket in the goal-mile at Lucky Dip.
01:053-3 at halfway.
01:073-3 it remained, but only just.
01:09Mike Sheeran hit the woodwork for the home side.
01:11And Michel Vonk's header was cleared off the line by Steve Redmond,
01:14who began the month as a Manchester City player.
