Premier League: 5 worst players from the weekend

#1 Kenedy

Kenedy endured one of the worst outings against Cardiff City

Kenedy did everything that could be remembered for the wrong reasons. Firstly, there was no involvement from his side in the build-up play. The winger only completed 8 out of 14 attempted passes in the entirety of the match. His overambitious attitude meant that he lost the ball a staggering 18 times.

What was he doing in the 33rd minute? Well, Kenedy attempted a fancy 360-spin to get past a couple of blue shirts but ended up losing possession. Instead of fighting for it, he peevishly kicked Victor Camarasa. Luckily, the referee who sent Isaac Hayden off the pitch didn't notice it.

A 10-man Newcastle side saw themselves in a remarkable position in stoppage time when they were awarded a penalty. The Brazilian stepped up to take it and Etheridge came up with the answer. The penalty was just what a goalkeeper prays for - tame, predictable and shot at a comfortable height.

0 - Kenedy failed to complete a single pass in the first half against Cardiff City - he is the first outfield Premier League player to fail to complete a single pass in 45+ minutes of play since Nikola Kalinic against Birmingham City in March 2010. Passenger. pic.twitter.com/6EZbhRNI9B
