Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo defended by Pep Guardiola after fans throw ironic cheers after saves

Pep Guardiola staunchly defended Claudio Bravo after Manchester City fans ironically cheered their own goalkeeper on Wednesday night.

Bravo allowed an early Harry Bunn effort to slip through him as Huddersfield Town stunned their illustrious hosts before City romped to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Chilean - in for new No 1 Willy Caballero - has now conceded nine goals from his last 14 shots and from the first effort on target in three of his last four matches.
