Claudio Bravo will get support of Man City teammates - Pablo Zabaleta

MANCHESTER -- Claudio Bravo's Manchester City teammates will rally around him after the goalkeeper was derided by home fans, insists Pablo Zabaleta.

The Chilean was subjected to ironic applause after he made a save during the 5-1 FA Cup victory over Huddersfield Town on Wednesday night, shortly after a Harry Bunn strike went through him and into the net.

Bravo, who has lost his spot as first choice at the Etihad to Willy Caballero, was backed by City boss Pep Guardiola after the game. The Catalan described Bravo's performance as "amazing" and Zabaleta agreed that his buildup play was effective.
