Pep Guardiola’s emphatic Jamie Donley verdict after Tottenham gem scores for Leyton Orient in FA Cup clash with Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur loanee Jamie Donley made a real name for himself in Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round clash between Leyton Orient and Manchester City.
Jamie Donley has risen through the ranks at Spurs and was in and around the first-team last season, making four appearances under Ange Postecoglou.
The 20-year-old left Tottenham last summer to link up with Leyton Orient for the season, where he has registered five goals and five assists from 21 League One appearances.
And on Saturday, Donley became known to the entire footballing world with his outstanding 16th-minute effort against Manchester City from just over the half-way line.
Donley was first to a loose ball as he went for a long-range effort that sailed over Stefan Ortega, clipped the underside of the crossbar and hit the backtracking keeper for the opener.
The Tottenham loanee’s effort lifted the roof off at Brisbane Road as Orient took their 1-0 lead into the second half.
Although Man City ended up turning the game around through goals from Abdukodir Khusanov and Kevin De Bruyne, it was still a valiant effort from Orient.
Citizens boss Pep Guardiola then spoke about Donley after the game as he lavished praise upon the Spurs on-loan talent.
Pep Guardiola hails ‘incredible’ Jamie Donley
Guardiola admitted that it was a “fantastic” goal and described Donley as an “incredible” player.
“What a goal,” Guardiola told reporters. “Fantastic he shoot, the quality, the technique and the speed, the flight of the ball.
“When you concede this goal, it is just to congratulate the guy. I think it was Donley. He is an incredible left-foot player.”
What pundits said about Donley’s effort
“We see a lot of players shooting from distance and from the halfway line,” Chris Sutton said on .
“But to execute that skill and be that accurate, it’s a phenomenal achievement from Jamie Donley.
“It will go down as an own goal but it is one of the greatest FA Cup goals.”
Meanwhile, Martin Keown said: “It is an absolutely remarkable goal.
“To even think about shooting from there – it’s a goal of a lifetime for the young lad.”
And Micah Richards said: “The IQ to take that finish on, the technique to execute it – it was absolutely brilliant.
“Jamie Donley will be going home tonight saying that’s his goal.
“I think maybe VAR would have taken it back but it’s the referees decision and it’s probably 50/50 on that.”
