Manchester City fans have taken a swipe at goalkeeper Zack Steffen following his dismal showing against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final.
The City goalkeeper was guilty of an absolute howler on Saturday afternoon as he dawdled with the ball on his own goal-line before Sadio Mane charged him down and scored for Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s side had already gone a goal down inside the opening 10 minutes after Ibrahima Konate headed the Merseysiders in front after connecting with Andy Robertson’s corner. And City’s afternoon got worse eight minutes later.
The ball was passed back to Steffen as City looked to play out from the back. But the 27-year-old took an age to take decisive action as Mane raced towards him. And before the shot-stopper could clear his lines, the Senegal international slid towards the ball and deflected it into the goal.
How did social media react after Zack Steffen’s howler?
