#4 Ben Foster saves further blushes
West Brom had begun a slight revival of sorts, having won 3 (including the remarkable victory against Liverpool to knock out Jurgen Klopp's side from the FA Cup) and drawn 1 in their last 4 games. However, the league-leaders ultimately turned out to be an insuppressible challenge, as they hammered away at the Ben Foster's goal all game long.
The hosts didn't just dominate position, but also relentlessly made attempts to find the back of the net. Pep Guardiola's side took a total of 19 shots on the night, of which 10 were on target. Well, I won't claim to know about your proclivity to avoid embarrassment, but the last person I'd want to be in such a situation is the defending goalkeeper.
Ben Foster may have conceded 3 goals, but the Englishman made an outstanding total of 7 saves to deny the incessant men in blue. The 34-year old was arguably West Brom's best player, and in a 3-0 defeat, that says a lot.
In what could unfold to be the tightest of relegation battles, with just 8 points separating 10th-placed Bournemouth from 20th-placed West Brom, goal difference could end up being either the saving, or the sinking factor, come the end of the season, and Ben Foster seems to be single-handedly fighting for the Baggies on that front.
