Henderson initially wanted to use a Maradona-style step-over feint to trick Tang Long and get past him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Long didn't fall for the fake at all!
He seized upon the flaw in Henderson's awkward moment of lifting his foot, and jabbed the ball swiftly with his toe!
Not only did he poke the ball away, he also sent Henderson sprawling to the ground, eating dirt.
"Brilliant!" Seeing Tang Long's successful defense, the center-back Ranocchia behind him also applauded.
In the Sky Sports studio, Gary Neville and Carra both looked displeased.
Though these two don't like Manchester City's midfield core Tang Long, they have to admit this guy is indeed a passing expert.
Across the whole Premier League, only De Bruyne can compare to him.
However, defense isn't Tang Long's absolute strength, so both were quite surprised by Tang Long's precise ball interception and disruption!
