“Garbage” – Some fans criticise Manchester City defender despite FA Cup win

Manchester City sealed their place in the Quarter-Final of the FA Cup by beating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Hillsborough, but not every player performed on the night. Joao Cancelo was given a rare start ahead of Kyle Walker at right-back but didn’t vindicate his manager’s decision and was criticised by supporters on social media.

The 25-year-old saw a lot of the ball over the 90 minutes but didn’t do much with it. He whipped in a number of crosses without ever finding a teammate and failed to create any real opportunities against a Wednesday side who didn’t put him under much pressure.
