One Manchester City player got a red card and the team played with 10 men only since 45 minutes in FA Cup match at Wigan, who finished with the final score 1-0.
This is one of the fifth-round parties left behind because of the tight schedule of The Citizens in four different competitions, while drawing or drawing for the quarter-final party has been done. Whoever the winner of this party will face Southampton in the next round.
Sergio Aguero managed to keep his place in the main squad along with Claudio Bravo under the crossbar, Danilo, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Leroy Sane and David Silva.
Red card!
Fabian Delph was expelled by referee Anthony Taylor for one hefty offense in the 45th minute. This was a very controversial decision. Originally the referee was holding a yellow card but then changed his mind and pulled out a red card. Let's see for yourself the scene and whether it's worth a red card tip.
Netizens argue that such challenges are no worse with what is happening throughout the season, and are usually only rewarded with a yellow card.
Tonight's game at home to Wigan Athletic went very, very unbalanced. Wigan are satisfied with packing their own half of the field, maybe a third of their own field, while The Citizens controls 81% of the dominance of the ball. They recorded 3 shots on target, 6 off target to the opponent's goal, but none led to a goal. Meanwhile, Wigan, despite only registering 18% control of the ball, managed to release a kick on target and one deviated from the goal.
Almost quick ahead!
Not to mention the second minute Bernardo Silva has released a dangerous header in front of goal Wigan. Unfortunately missed over the crossbar opponent. Starting from one cross on the right side of the box, he gore the ball and ALHEAD!
The fifth minute of Ilkay Gundogan's turn dribbled alone to approach the opponent's penalty box, without a single player challenging him. He then fired a hard shot which unfortunately still ignored by goalkeeper Christian Walton. It's a shame that no Manchester City player snatched up the ball.
The 34th minute of the Gundogan on the right side of the penalty box receives a sweet pass from Bernardo Silva, outwitting his guard before firing a shot from a very narrow angle. The ball floated a little too high. But should have been able to make a goal.
See this Aguero action
The first 45 minutes Aguero managed to receive the ball and drove the ball into the box very quickly. No player managed to stop the Argentine player, but his shot was denied by goalkeeper Christian Walton. See the gocekan action.
Wigan in the midst of intense pressure successfully made a number of counterattacks. One of them is quite dangerous happened 20 minutes. Two people play one-two before approaching the City penalty box, but his shot was successfully blocked by John Stones.
Actually there is not no violation as tough as Wigan players against Manchester City players. One of them happened to Sergio Aguero, who was knocked down very loudly, either in a few minutes of the FA Cup match last night.
Kevin de Bruyne came in
The second half has already begun. No scenes worth reporting yet. The 65th minute, Pep Guardiola - who had been in contention with the opposing coach and referee during the trip to the dressing room - pulled out David Silva and put in his gacoan player Kevin de Bruyne. Let's see if the Belgian player is able to make a meaningful contribution.
GOAL! Not for City but Wigan! This could be the next defeat to Pep Guardiola's squad as well as their elimination from the FA Cup. The 79th minute Will Grigg fired a shot from the edge of the box and LOGGED! 1-0!
Since entering in the 65th minute Kevin de Bruyne has done four or five corner kicks. But not one goal has been tipped. Wigan players survived desperately in the penalty box. They will advance to the quarter-finals if they win over Manchester City tonight. And Fabian Delph's red card will be a topic for the day.
After extra 6 minutes, referee Anthony Taylor finally blew the long whistle. Results Wigan vs Manchester City closed with the final score 1-0.
