Black Stars left-back, Baba Rahman has been the talking point on social media after his magnificent moment with Manchester United's Antony, during the FA Cup game against Reading.

Antony, known for his wizardry of tricks and spins in games, came up against the Ghanaian in a one-v-one situation.

As he usually does to defenders, the Brazilian, in an attempt to beat Rahman, stood for almost a minute doing his 'shake-the-body' trick, but the Ghana international cleverly defended the player from moving past him.

In a video that has been shared extensively on social media, Rahman received praise from fans after facing Antony.

Despite Rahman's performance on the night, it was the former Ajax player that had the last laugh after helping Manchester United beat Reading 3-1 to progress in the FA Cup.

Compatriot Casimero netted a brace, including a stunning strike, before Bruno Fernandes sealed victory late into the match.
