#4 Victor Moses capitulates on the big day
Trending
He may have enjoyed a breakthrough season at wing-back under the tutelage of Conte, but Victor Moses ended the season with a whimper – possibly his worst performance of the entire campaign. The Nigerian, who has given left-backs nightmares this season with his tireless legs to pace up and down the pitch, was completely off-colour last night.
He was unable to deliver a decent cross into the box and looked out of ideas when he got the ball forward, down the wing. While tracking back, he was guilty of a couple of fouls and was rightly booked for cynically hacking down Welbeck when he was away towards goal.
His performance reached its ultimate nadir just a few minutes later, when he went tumbling inside the box under pressure from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – who made absolutely no contact. Referee Anthony Taylor rightly enforced the simulation rule and brandished a second yellow card – resulting in a red – putting Moses out of his misery.
It was a forgettable evening for the Nigerian but does not tarnish what has been an excellent season with the league champions.
