Fabian Delph's debut for Manchester City has been cut short by a cruel twist of fate (or what's medically referred to as a "hamstring injury").
20. SUB CITY: Sadly, a premature end to Fabian Delph's City debut. @JNavas replaces the injured midfielder.

After just 18 minutes with his new club, Delph was stretchered off the pitch and, unsurprisingly, Twitter has not been particularly kind.
The England international courted controversy after performing a u-turn on his scrapped move to the Manchester club, provoking an angry reaction from Aston Villa fans.

Fabian Delph has been served a severe dish of KARMA.

Fabian Delph injured already, 17 minutes into his Man City career, what you get for being "loyal"

Looks like Fabian Delph has done his hamstring here. A sharp u-turn can have that effect. #ICCMELB

"Looks like Fabian Delph has gone off holding his hamstring, oh wait he's changed his mind and is now holding his knee" Cheers Geoff
