Sponsored by. MANCHESTER CITY new boy Abdukodir Khusanov endured a nightmare start to his debut. The Uzbek defender, 20, joined from RC Lens in a £34million deal. The 18-cap ace was thrown straight into Pep Guardiola's starting XI for today's clash with Chelsea.

His debut began in nightmare fashion, however, when his botched header gifted the ball to Nicolas Jackson, who subsequently squared for Noni Madueke to fire the Blues into a third minute lead. Things then went from bad to worse just moments later, as another misplaced pass allowed Chelsea to break again, with Khusanov's subsequent foul earning him a yellow card.
Commentating on Sky Sports, Gary Neville said: "Oh it's a moment when you feel like crying for the lad… it's a nightmare for him.". Neville, 49, then dramatically added: "This boy is 20-years-old and these three minutes will be as difficult as he has faced in his life.".
