Man City stars have plastic cups of BEER thrown at them by Club Brugge fans as Cancelo celebrates opening goal in win

MANCHESTER CITY stars were pelted by plastic cups of BEER as they celebrated Joao Cancelo's opener against Club Brugge.

The bizarre incident occurred on the half-hour mark after Cancelo fired City ahead in Tuesday's 5-1 Champions League victory.

The Portuguese defender was played in by Phil Foden as City dominated proceedings in Belgium.

And he fired home with aplomb using a real striker's touch.

Cancelo was mobbed by team-mates as he charged towards the corner flag in front of Brugge fans.

And things turned sour when several cups of beer were hurled in the City players' direction.

The likes of Jack Grealish also got soaked by the alcoholic beverage.

But the City stars took it in their stride as they pressed home their advantage.

City ensured they went in at the break with a healthy lead when Riyad Mahrez netted a penalty moments before the whistle.

The Algerian was brought down inside the Brugge box after a well-worked move.

And Mahrez tucked his effort firmly away to double City's lead.

Kyle Walker later scored his first Champions League goal after a fine bit of build-up play by the visitors, Mahrez and then Kevin De Bruyne cutting the Belgians open.

Talented academy graduate Cole Palmer, 19, then also scored his first European goal - curling in after a cut back from Raheem Sterling - before Mahrez notched his second on a very comfortable night.
