Pep Guardiola lavished praise on Sergio Aguero and defended Claudio Bravo after Manchester City came from behind to thrash Huddersfield in the FA Cup.
Top scorer Aguero struck twice, set up another and hit the woodwork as City powered into the quarter-finals with a 5-1 victory over the Championship side at the Etihad Stadium.
But it was another dismal night for much-maligned goalkeeper Bravo who, on his return to the team after sitting out five of the previous six games, was at fault for the Terriers' surprise early opener.
The Chilean allowed a seventh-minute shot from former City youngster Harry Bunn to slip under his body in an awkward moment which also turned up the heat on Guardiola, the manager who has backed him.
