Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez responded to a tweet criticising his appearance during the team's FA Cup celebrations. A journalist posted a video showing Manchester City players celebrating after the game, as Mahrez slowly walked towards them.

Mahrez scoffed at this explanation, reposting the video on his official Twitter account and commenting on it: "Another act that explains why you pay money to verify your account, does not make you a person worthy of praise" Mahrez made 47 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions last season, scoring 15 goals and providing 13 assists.
