The tricky winger who has been on form for Leicester all season had a terrible week. First at Tottenham has was quiet though the foxes got all three points and then he missed a crucial penalty that could have given his team an edge to three points on Saturday. His performances have dipped in recent weeks, and now he has to step up to the player he was before December last year.


GOAL OF THE WEEK: Alvaro Negredo (Valencia).

He his short of goals this season but he showed that he still has a bit of quality with this goal. Valencia cleared a corner and it fell to Negredo at the half way line. He controlled first  brushing off a defender then hit a 50 yard shot that beat the Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper and that made it 1-1. The match finished 2-2 leaving Valencia manager Gary Neville still without a win in the Spanish league.


SAVE OF THE WEEK: Mark Bunn (Aston Villa).

Bunn has impressed in recent appearances for Villa and he seems to justify why he should be NO 1 with this save. A long goal kick by Kasper Schmeichel found Jamie Vardy who beat the Villa offside trap and he hit the ball one time trying to lob Bunn, but the goalie was alert to rush back and push the ball away but unfortunately it lead to Leicester's goal as Okazaki tapped in the rebound.



MATCH OF THE WEEK: Chelsea V Everton (Barclays Premier League).

Six goal thriller at the bridge in which all goals came in the second half after a drab first half. Everton raced into a two goal lead when John Terry was forced to put the ball into his own net then Mirallas scored with a cool finish inside the box. We taught it will be a torrid day for Chelsea but a quick fire double from Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas made it 2-2 and this turned the edges of the sword to Everton. Chelsea totally ran the game from this point but it was Everton that got the third as Funes-Mori scored from a Deulofeu cross. Seven Minutes added on time and Everton looked conservative and sure of the three points but the die had not been cast as Chelsea captain John Terry scored the equalizer in stoppage time to rescue a point for the blues. This is a match tagged Terry's goals.

MANAGER OF THE WEEK: Remi Garde (Aston Villa).

He had a smashing debut for the goodies as he helped them beat West-ham last weekend. Shelvey was involved in both goals recording an assist to the assist twice(if there's anything like that in football). He was just a different type of player in the middle for Newcastle and was like the Libero they never had. Wonder why Swansea sold him.


LW: Antoine Griezmann (Atletico).

The striker is just on another level and he doesn't want to stop yet. Highest goal scorer in La Liga at the moment with 18 goals and racking up with the assists as well.
