Rayan Cherki was ordered to remove Hugo Ekitike\u2019s Liverpool shirt on the Manchester City bench during their FA Cup tie on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s side ran out 4-0 winners against Liverpool, with Erling Haaland scoring a hat-trick while Antoine Semenyo also found the net in the second half.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah also saw his second-half penalty saved by James Trafford, while Liverpool supporters were heading for the exit at the Etihad Stadium even before the hour mark.<\/p>\n

Cherki, meanwhile, had another impressive game for City before he was substituted in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

The midfielder somehow managed to swap his shirt with his France teammate Hugo Ekitike before the final whistle.<\/p>\n

After taking his place on the bench, Cherki removed his own City shirt and then started to put on Ekitike\u2019s jersey.<\/p>\n

However, someone sat behind Cherki had a word and the \u00a330.45 million midfielder quickly took off Ekitike\u2019s shirt.<\/p>\n

Cherki also faced criticism during the Carabao Cup final when he started doing kick-ups during the 2-0 win against Arsenal at Wembley.<\/p>\n
