This week’s football phrase is ‘against the run of play‘, which is used to describe a situation when a team scores a goal when they probably do not deserve to. One team may be playing much better and creating many chances to score but then the other team scores – often without having created any previous chances. In this case we say that a team has scored against the run of play. In this week’s Champions League group match between Ajax and Manchester City, Samir Nasri scored for City against the run of play after Ajax had created a lot of earlier chances. Despite scoring against the run of play City still went on to lose. Against the run of play.
