Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko reveals his family have had death threats - and says there are 'little reasonable fans left' - after he made an error against Germany on Ukraine duty

Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has revealed that he and his family were sent death threats after his mistake in Sunday's Nations League game gifted Germany a goal.

Zinchenko - who was playing in midfield rather than the usual left-back position - was robbed of possession by Leon Goretzka before his former team-mate Leroy Sane scored Germany's opening goal in Ukraine's 3-1 loss.

Fans were furious with Zinchenko's mistake as Andriy Shevchenko's side have been battling to avoid relegation from the top tier of the UEFA Nations League.
