Carney Chukwuemeka enjoyed a fine cameo off the substitute’s bench for Aston Villa in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in midweek.
Chukwuemeka came on for the final 23 minutes of the Premier League battle with Pep Guardiola’s side and could have equalised only a few minutes after his entrance into the game.

But for a superb save from Ederson, ranked among the best goalkeepers in the world, Chukwuemeka would have been the Villa Park hero on a night when Steven Gerrard’s side ran their opponents close.
