Man City: Pep Guardiola says 'amazing' Claudio Bravo can cope with negative reactions

Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is strong enough to deal with negative reactions from his own fans, says boss Pep Guardiola.

Bravo, 33, allowed Harry Bunn's shot to go in through his legs as Huddersfield led 1-0 in the FA Cup fifth-round replay, before City went on to win 5-1.

Some City fans sarcastically applauded when he made a save later in the game.

But Guardiola said: "The performance from Claudio was amazing. He can start build-ups like no-one else can do."

Chile international Bravo was signed from Barcelona last summer to replace England international Joe Hart, but has faced criticism for his shot-stopping skills since arriving in a £15.
