Manchester City fans heap praise on Joao Cancelo’s performance vs Monchengladbach

A section of Manchester City fans on Twitter were delighted with the showing of Joao Cancelo during last night’s Champions League clash against Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Cityzens made the trip to the Puskas Arena in Hungary for the first leg of the round of 16 and managed to prevail with a comfortable 2-0 win.

Chances were at a premium against an organised Monchengladbach outfit and it needed a moment of brilliance from Cancelo to unlock the defence in the 29th minute.

The 26-year-old has played in both full-back positions this term and has been given the freedom to push forward to join his teammates in the attack.
