Sheffield Wednesday boss Stuart Gray was proud of his players in their FA Cup defeat at Manchester City.

City had to come from behind to see off the Owls 2-1.

Gray said: "Last time we were here we got beat 7-0. It was 0-0 at half-time and they went up a gear and put seven past us.

"It was nice to go in at 1-0, I think we thoroughly deserved it. We had a gameplan to hit them on the break, we frustrated them.

"The goal that we got - Stevie May pulled away on the break and pulled it back to Atdhe Nuhiu and it was a great finish.

"In the end they have shown us total respect as they put on Silva and Nasri and (Gael) Clichy. It was just tired minds that caught us out.

"They kept the ball better than us in the last 15 minutes and when you have tired minds, you can make mistakes unfortunately. The winning goal was a mistake by us but I am so proud of my players. They have pushed the champions to the last minute.

"I thought it was going to go to a replay. It just shows in this game that you have to play until the final whistle."
