The former Aston Villa winger had only started 12 games in all competitions before the clash with Real Madrid, but had begun brightly and played a key role in Haaland's opening goal.
Alan Shearer slammed an 'unacceptable' pause that may have contributed to Jack Grealish's gutting injury.
And Shearer believes a long wait earlier in the game as Erling Haaland's goal was checked contributed.
But there was then a lengthy stoppage as lines were drawn to determine whether Haaland had any part of his body beyond the ball, with the goal ultimately allowed to stand.
The Manchester City star had started against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League.
