Man City player called ‘an absolute nightmare’ and hailed as ‘almost impossible to stop’

Kevin Horlock was full of praise for Joao Cancelo after Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on Wednesday evening, calling him “an absolute nightmare” for his opponents while suggesting he’s “almost impossible to stop”.

The 26-year-old delivered a Man of the Match display against Gladbach and had a big hand in both goals on the night, leading to Horlock waxing lyrical about Cancelo’s creative threat. He said: “You don’t expect a full back to turn up in the centre of the pitch and get shots off from the edge of the box.
