After a five-month injury scare, Kieron Dibny returned to action on Sunday (7) in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. The Belgian midfielder came on as a substitute and provided a brilliant assist in just 17 minutes, helping Manchester City sweep Huddersfield 5-0 at home. After the match, City manager Pep Guardiola said that Chivan Dibny is one of the "keys to victory" on the pitch.
Manchester City recovered from their World Cup victory, and this time they faced the Championship team with a strong momentum. Phil Cotton and Zulian Ivaris scored in the first half, and in the 57th minute, Chivan Dibny returned to the starting lineup, and only a minute later, the opponent scored an own goal. Phil Cotton added a second in the 65th minute to extend the lead. Kiyun Dibny assisted again in the 74th minute and Shelly Meduku scored with a header to give City a 5-0 win.
Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Chivun Dibny's performance after the game, "We are very happy to see him back, Chivun Dibny was able to help the team to win the game, there are very few players like that in this world, players like Chivun Dibny and Ainin Harlan are the keys to victory." City return to the UK on a three-match winning streak after winning the World Cup and will be away to Newcastle in their next match, which is scheduled for League 14.
