Pep Guardiola has been told his decision to give the nod to Zack Steffen in goal for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final with Liverpool on Saturday 'backfired'.
The Premier League champions saw themselves go into half-time with a 3-0 deficit thanks to two goals from Sadio Mane and an opener from Ibrahima Konate. Steffen was left utterly embarrassed for the second goal when he took too long on the ball, allowing Mane to charge in with a tackle to force the ball home.
City, who were without Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne and Ruben Dias in the starting XI, looked second best for the whole of the first 45 minutes. A second-half fightback almost saw them draw level but they eventually lost 3-2.
