Hero keeper Muric, 20, repays act of faith in Manchester City's shootout victory

Aro Muric left the King Power pitch with his name ringing out of the away end and with Sergio Aguero on his back. Not a bad way to end the most testing night of your fledgling career.

Manchester City’s hero was the 20-year-old who started the season on loan at NAC Breda and, after two saves in the penalty shootout, Pep Guardiola could not hide his delight for the youngster.

‘Aro is so big,’ Guardiola smiled. ‘He’s so quick with his reactions and has a lot of power in his legs. He took the right decisions, even with the Harry Maguire penalty he could not save.
