GIF Video Goalkeeper Ben Foster mistake for Aubameyang goal vs Watford 2019
This Ben Foster mistake vs Arsenal was a costly error from the Hornets keeper as he effectively gifted the Gunners a goal in their clash on 15 April, 2019. The Foster mistake against Arsenal came in the 10th minute of the game- dithered too long on a backpass and Auba was quick to pounce and score. Foster has previously said that he doesn’t want to play ahead of Heurelho Gomes in the FA Cup final and mistakes like this will make Javi Gracia’s decision easier.
