#3 Flop: Steve Mounie

A cameo to forget: Mounie squandered a great chance with time ticking away
A cameo to forget: Mounie squandered a great chance with time ticking away

Philip Billing's replacement with 20 minutes plus stoppages to play, Steve Mounie has failed to score a Premier League goal since early April this year against fellow newcomers Brighton. His dismal goalscoring run continues, despite having a great opportunity to rectify that.

You can say Huddersfield were unfortunate to hit the woodwork, see the linesman lift his flag for offside and even force Alisson into an important save from Depoitre. Mounie had no excuse.

Reacting quickest to a loose ball spinning in the area after Dejan Lovren's unorthodox attempt at a clearance, he rushed the contact and fired over the bar from close-range. If his effort was on target, Alisson wouldn't have stood a chance.

At such an important stage of the game too, he spared Lovren the blushes after a poor clearance while relieving pressure on their visitors. If he couldn't score from there, let alone connect and hit the target, they just were not going to finish.
