Former Chelsea defender John Terry has criticised Pep Guardiola's team selection for the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
The Reds went 2-0 up inside 20 minutes at Wembley following a lightning start from Jurgen Klopp's side. Ibrahima Konate's bullet header gave them a crucial early lead.
But it was arguably the second goal that came out of nothing as Sadio Mane capitalised on a mistake from goalkeeper Zack Steffen as he was too casual with his touch and the Senegalese international slide in to send it into the back of the net from close range.

Guardiola made changes to the team that faced Liverpool last Sunday and Atletico Madrid midweek, with Steffen among the players to come in, in place of mainstay Ederson. The decision backfired as the Reds fired themselves in front in the early stages at Wembley.
Terry, who made over 700 appearances for Chelsea, wrote on Twitter: "That is why you don’t rest or rotate your best players. Play your best and strongest team!"
Klopp opted for one of his strongest selections, with Luis Diaz, Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita the only changes to the team that faced City last time.
Along with Steffen, Nathan Ake, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fernandinho and Jack Grealish also came into the starting line-up.
