Social media reacts to Daniel Amartey's outstanding performance against Man City

Leicester City reacted well to their Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal in midweek after thumping Manchester City 5-2 at their own backyard.

Jamie Vardy's hattrick, a goal each from James Maddison did the job for the Foxes while Riyad Mahrez and Nathan Ake got the consolation goals for Manchester City

Daniel Amartey had his second start of the season but the first in the English Premier League after suffering a major injury set 23 months ago and people can't stop talking about his performance against the Citizens.

He made 38 touches and 6 clearances, which were more than any player from either team on the pitch.

Social media users have reacted to Amartey's performance on Sunday, September, 27 against City, and GhanaWeb has compiled some of the tweets below:

Daniel Amartey did really well. Solid 90 mins and more to come from him.

What a win, what a performance. Vardy ruthless. Tielemans and Castagne brilliant. Maddison stunning impact.

Everyone else, to a man, sublime.

And Rodgers, for all the early concern, spot-on. Only criticism is Vardy should have come off sooner.#LCFC

Daniel Amartey had a decent outing on his return to the pitch against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium today. He was simple, tidy and solid at the back.
