Leyton Orient manager gives Jamie Donley verdict vs Man City, Pep Guardiola calls Tottenham gem ‘incredible’
As Jamie Donley’s tremendous long-range strike hit the crossbar and deflected onto Stefan Ortega to open the scoring for Leyton Orient against Manchester City, the stars seemed aligned for a classic FA Cup upset.
Jamie Donley has a wand of a left foot was for all to witness as he caught Ortega out with a stunning effort from at least 40 yards out, which sadly went down as an own goal for the Tottenham loanee.
Tottenham fans are huge admirers of Donley and as he impressed against Manchester City with his latest moment of magic, there was further evidence that the Englishman is a star in the making.
While Dominic Solanke has been handpicked as Harry Kane’s long-term heir, Ange Postecoglou could certainly do with a top-class understudy.
It goes without saying that Donley still has plenty to prove to be considered worthy as a first-team player at Tottenham.

However, as Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens claimed, Donley is a special talent.
Wellens even feels that the Spurs wonderkid has the potential to play Premier League football very soon.
The Orient manager said via BeanymanSports2: “Yeah, I just told him, I literally passed him on the stairs, it’s a shame that it’s gone down as an own goal, I don’t think that’s deserved, I don’t think [Stefan] Ortega wants it neither. So, there’s one thing seeing it, it’s another thing executing it. The lad has talent.”
“Spurs have been great with us, loaned us one of their best young players and we think we’ve developed him well over the last six months and if he carries on with the same attitude, the same intensity and work ethic and mentality, then might be playing against them [Manchester City] week in, week out.”
Pep Guardiola raves about “incredible” Jamie Donley after Leyton Orient vs Man City
Pep Guardiola gave Donley the credit he deserved for his incredible effort as well.
Guardiola said via BeanymanSports: “What a goal. Fantastic, the shoot and kick, the quality, technique, the speed, the flight of the ball, so when you concede this goal, it’s just, congratulate the guy, I think it was Donley.”
“He’s an incredible left-footed player, we saw him and he make a fantastic goal.”
Both Donley and Tottenham will be over the moon to hear Pep Guardiola’s high praise.
The young striker must stay focused on developing and perhaps sooner rather than later, he could become a household name and a goalscorer that such top managers fear coming up against.
