Leyton Orient Donley dismayed her effort was not enough to knock out Manchester City

The Leyton Orient striker Jamie Donley says that his wonder against Manchester City would have counted more if his team had produced an annoying of the FA Cup.

Donley’s incredible 45 -yard effort will become technically as an own goal for the city’s goalkeeper, Stefan Ortega, but Tottenham’s man in the loop deserves all credit. His shot flew over the goalkeeper’s head, hit the bar and hit Ortega’s legs before entering.

The One Side Liga Orient led the Premier League champions for the next 40 minutes before visitors responded through a fortunate goal from Abdukodir Khusanov before a shine from Jack Grealish and Kevin de Bruyne saw City by 2 -1.

Donley told the BBC: “I thought we did well. We knew it would be a really difficult game. I thought we gave a good account of ourselves. It is disappointing to lose, but I am proud of the boys. “

To his goal, he added: “I know I reached the goal well. I knew I liked. I saw him out of his line and fortunately he entered. It will be a happy moment. It would have been much more pleasant if we won. It was disappointing to have lost, but it was a good time.

“They are a superior team, they have not been doing what they have in recent years, but you can see the quality they had.”

Lewis relieved city scratched through

Rico Lewis, whose shot hit Khusanov before the start goalkeeper Josh Keeley and was for the leveling level, admitted that the city had been seriously tested in Brisbane Road.

He said: “Credit to Leyton Orient, made it difficult for us to play. It is easy to say that it is more difficult than you think, but we all know they are difficult. The crowd is up to it.

“The season has not overcome how we wanted it. Every game now, while we win, could be a great season for us. ”
