Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega was the standout performer in a narrow 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, making 5 saves and helping to keep a clean sheet. Fans were quick to praise his performance on social media, with many saying City should keep him as the backup to Ederson.
