Glenn Hoddle slams Man City defender Manuel Akanji for 'switching off completely' and allowing Lois Openda to give RB Leipzig an early lead during their Champions League clash

Glenn Hoddle has slammed Manuel Akanji's for 'switching off completely' after Manchester City conceded two early goals during their Champions League clash against RB Leipzig.

Lois Openda stunned Cityzens in the opening 35 minutes of the match scoring twice with both goals coming from defensive errors.

His first came in the 13th minute, capitalising on a long ball form goalkeeper Janis Blaswich, before running through the Man City defence to strike the ball past Stefan Ortega.

And Glenn Hoddle has criticised Akanji for allowing Openda to spin away from him to go through one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
