AFC Wimbledon v West Ham United - Carabao Cup Second Round
The Italian has not been a regular feature in the West Ham team this season, but when on field, Angelo Ogbonna has done a stellar job. However, what makes it more impressive is that he has managed to be extremely disciplined in his job in the Premier League, FA Cup as well as the League Cup.

Ogbonna is a big presence in the central defense for the Hammers, but the defender is actually quite composed in his job.
He does not dive into tackles and rarely gives away fouls. It is not a wonder then, that he has received just one yellow card from 24 appearances from all competitions this season. Ogbonna is also good when going forward, he has already scored three goals and registered one assist so far.
This season, the Italian is averaging just 0.7 fouls per game in the Premier League, and is the fourth most disciplined defender in the world.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
