This Juninho Bacuna own goal vs Stoke was a rather funny goal from the Potters’ Cup tie against Huddersfield on 28 August, 2018. Deep into second half stoppage time, Bacuna somehow put the ball back into his own net from near the half way line! It was Stoke’s second goal of the game- they won 2-0. The game also saw Saido Berahino score for Stoke for the first time in 2 and a half years

Arsenal Player Ratings- Carabao Cup Final 2018 v City- Poor, bad, abysmal?
Arsenal slumped to a 3-0 loss at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final as Manchester City won their first trophy of the Guardiola era against Arsene Wenger’s side. The Gunners did start positively but fell behind after Mustafi’s error allowed Sergio Aguero to score from goalkeeper Claudio Bravo’s long punt (a very un-City like goal, if we may put it that way), and put in a dire second half performance that will lead to renewed calls for their manager’s dismissal.
Several TV pundits labelled Arsenal as “spineless” and “disgraceful”.
We’ve aggregated Arsenal’s player ratings from several newspapers- Wilshere seems to be the only one who came out of this relatively unscathed. The likes of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were disappointing, as the ratings show. Shkodran Mustafi also came in for plenty of flack- perhaps the worst performing Arsenal player on the day according to these aggregated ratings.
