A selection of Manchester City fans on Twitter heaped praise on Fernandinho following the club’s 2-0 win over Everton in the FA Cup quarter-final yesterday.
The Cityzens had a tough game against the Merseyside outfit, but eventually prevailed after goals from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne in the final 10 minutes.
De Bruyne was the game-changer off the bench as he was also involved in the build-up of the opening goal, but Fernandinho stood out over the course of 90 minutes.
Fernandinho was picked ahead of Rodri in the defensive midfield role and had a solid performance with four tackles.
