Manchester City fans have been left furious with one of their players after they were forced to settle for a point against Brentford following a late equaliser.

Pep Guardiola's side took a 2-0 lead against Thomas Frank's side thanks to a Phil Foden brace.

City looked to be cruising to a comfortable victory on the road until the last 10 minutes, with Yoane Wissa's 82nd minute goal sparking life into the game.

Despite being unbeaten in four prior to the game, it's been far from easy for City of late and Brentford added to their recent struggles with a 92nd minute equaliser.

Christian Nørgaard rose highest to head past Stefan Ortega in the City goal, however, fans have been left furious with the goalkeeper's attempt to stop the effort.


Ortega has played in five of City's last six games with the German stamping his authority on Ederson.

Following the late goal, City fans have taken to social media to demand Guardiola switches back to the Brazilian due to Ortega's mistake.

One fan posted: "Time for Ortega to step down & Ederson to return, our defense is in shambles, Nunez & Akanji are useless, what a stinker of a performance the last 10 minutes."

"I know I’m a better goalie than Stefan Ortega. I don’t want to hear it. No reason why Ederson will be available and we play Ortega," another fan commented.

A third added: "Don’t forget guys, ederson was the problem and ortega is so much better..."

A fourth replied: "I was backing Ortega more than Ederson, but it might be time to go back with Eddie."

Ederson has only started 13 out of City's 21 Premier League games so far this season.

While injury has played a factor, the 31-year-old's disastrous performance against Feyenoord in the Champions League resulted in three consecutive games on the bench.
