#5 Worst / most ineffective player(s)
(a) Sergio Aguero
Match: Manchester City vs Chelsea
Trending
Aguero’s wild two-footed lunge at David Luiz – studs up - in the closing minutes of an already fiery game was completely uncalled for and terrible. He was sent off for the offense, which came at the end of a relatively poor display by the standards of the Argentine.
He missed a host of chances to bury the game and put City ahead, either shooting straight at the keeper or delaying the shot.
The striker will miss Manchester City’s next four games including the visit of high-flying Arsenal and should return to the squad in time to face Liverpool.
(b) Marouane Fellaini
Match: Everton vs. Manchester United
The Red Devils’ visit to the Blue half of Merseyside had all the potential to end in a narrow 1-0 win in their favour, courtesy a brilliant lobbed goal by none other than the Zlatan.
However, with 5 minutes of regular time to go, Fellaini was brought on in place of Mkhitaryan to shore up the defence in the closing minutes. He did anything but.
Barely two minutes after coming on, the Belgian made a clumsy challenge in the box, fouling Idrissa Gueye and conceding a penalty thereof.
Leighton Baines stepped up and scored the equaliser for Everton with one minute of normal time left to play.
Honourable mentions: Loris Karius (vs. Bournemouth), Fraser Forster (vs. Crystal Palace), Artur Boruc (vs. Liverpool)
