Gary Neville praised Stefan Ortega, Manchester City’s number two goalkeeper, after his performance in the 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. City went top of the Premier League with the victory, thanks to two goals from Erling Haaland. Ortega came on to replace the injured Ederson and made a crucial save late in the game to deny Spurs a goal, leading Neville to label him as outstanding.

Neville highlighted Ortega’s impact in challenging circumstances and praised his performance against Tottenham, emphasizing his importance as a number two goalkeeper for the team.
Ortega, who doesn’t get many opportunities to play due to Ederson being the first-choice goalkeeper, proved his worth with his display against Tottenham.

His performance in the game against Spurs showcased his skill and importance to the team, earning him praise from Neville and other pundits.
