Pep Guardiola accused of 'disrespecting' Liverpool with controversial Man City decision

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O'Hara has accused Pep Guardiola of 'disrespecting' Liverpool by selecting goalkeeper Zack Steffen in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final.

Manchester City's decision to start their second-choice shot-stopper proved pivotal in deciding the winner of the tie, with the Reds doubling their advantage on the afternoon courtesy of a blunder at the back from the American. Misjudging a John Stones back pass, Steffen failed to keep the ball under control and saw Sadio Mane swoop in to score.

The City keeper could also have done more to keep out Ibrahima Konate's opener and Mane's second, though failed to keep out any of the aforementioned efforts as Liverpool raced into a three-goal lead before half-time had even arrived.
