FA Cup: Guardiola reacts as Leyton fans sing ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has responded to being mocked by Leyton Orient fans, as his team came back from behind to win their FA Cup fourth round tie on Saturday.

The hosts took a shock lead through a Stefan Ortega own goal in the 16th minute.

New City signing Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne then scored after the break, to avoid an embarrassing exit.

During the game while the Premier League champions were trailing, the home fans at Gaughan Group Stadium were heard chanting: “You’re getting sacked in the morning” at Guardiola.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Guardiola said: “Fantastic! Well when they say, ‘You are going to sack in the morning’ not so much!

“But it’s a routine in all the stadiums right now.

“With this result I think my chairman is not going to sack me tomorrow, that’s for sure!”

City’s next game will be on Tuesday night, when they play Real Madrid in the Champions League play-off.
