BT Sport pundits praise Joao Cancelo after inspired Champions League performance for Man City

Joao Cancelo has received special praise for his performance in Manchester City's 2-0 Champions League victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Goals from Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus put City in good place ahead of the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with the Bundesliga side.

Cancelo played a key factor in both goals as he assisted the first and created the second, as City kept another clean sheet.

His role for City sees him play as a conventional full-back when his side don't have the ball, but shift into the midfield when his side had possession.
