Learning English Through Football Podcast: 2022 Manchester Derby
DF: Hello again everyone and welcome to Languagecaster.com – the football-language podcast for learners of English who love football: the beautiful game. I’m Damian and I’m in London and on today’s short podcast I’ll be looking at some of the words and phrases from the Manchester derby that took place yesterday between Manchester City and Manchester United. To do this I am going to use a report from the BBC and focus on three expressions: ‘outclass‘; ‘over-run‘ and ‘restore their lead‘.
