On the plus side, this guy did make his 1st Premier League start of the season today. On the downside, he got subbed out after 70 minutes of not scoring or assisting.

This next player played that entire game, buuuuut...

Quote:

The Blues resumed control and almost retook the lead twice in the space of 60 seconds as first [REDACTED] crossed for Aguero to put the ball over the bar from six yards out.

[REDACTED] then dashed through seconds later only to see his effort blocked.

Quote:

Raheem Sterling and [REDACTED] combined to create a half-chance on 63 minutes but the danger was scrambled clear by the home defence.

Quote:

David Silva replaced a tiring De Bruyne just past the hour and immediately was in the thick of the action, playing two threaded balls through to [REDACTED], but neither opening ended in a genuine goal-scoring chance.

He did assist the other team's game winning goal tho, so there's that...

Quote:

A Foxes corner was headed out by [REDACTED], but only as far as Ricardo Pereira who hit the sort of strike we’re getting used to seeing of late as the right-back fizzed a howitzer of a shot past Ederson from 20 yards.

This guy played the whole game, & his team scored 3 goals, but he still failed to be correct.

Quote:

The Reds held the upper hand, though, and, as one attack looked to be gathering pace, Huddersfield’s Elias Kachunga resorted to illegal methods to halt [REDACTED]’s progress, and was booked for a cynical challenge.

Cynical azz cynics.

Quote:

The visitors were by no means a distant second best as the game wore on, but with 17 minutes of the opening half remaining, United struck the first major blow of the game. The Reds won a corner in front of the East Stand, which [REDACTED] took. Victor Lindelof was first to the cross and his glancing header ultimately dropped at the feet of Matic, who gleefully swept United into the lead.

Hockey assist!

Quote:

Diogo Dalot volleyed wide after great work by Rashford and the England striker also had a couple of attempts himself as the hosts dominated.

Close a couple of other times, but that only counts in horseshoes & lawn bowls.

After doing these things in the 1st half:

Quote:

31'
[REDACTED] (Arsenal) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

Quote:

37'
Offside, Arsenal. [REDACTED] tries a through ball, but Sead Kolasinac is caught offside.

...apparently his manager had seen enough, & substituted him out at halftime for Alex Iwobi.

This guy recently hurt his ribs & foot. It seems likely he was held out of today's contest to rest since, tbh, they didn't really need him.

This guy is currently tied for 4th in the league in goals & tied for 5th in assists, so he seems like a solid choice in general. He did not do much of anything today, though, despite playing the entire match.

The next guy was involved in a couple scoring opportunities before being subbed out in the 69th minutes.

This next guy is apparently being rested to go to Juventus? He was not in the 18 today.

Next is another guy who had a few chances as part of a potent attack which scored 4 goals, & played the entire game, but failed to capitalize.

Our final confirmed incorrect had tons of chances in a game in which literally no one was a correct answer.

Quote:

Palace started the game in lightning fast fashion and almost opened the day's account within one minute after [REDACTED] turned and flicked the ball well to Andros Townsend who latched onto it smartly before poking just over 'keeper Neil Etheridge only to be denied by the Bluebirds' crossbar.

Quote:

Minutes later, with the Eagles playing in the ascendence, [REDACTED] was again involved in forcing Welsh breath to be held as he found space on the edge of the box to aim a shot at goal which was ultimately driven just wide.

Quote:

By the half-hour mark, then, the match had evened out and both teams were frustrated to have seen opportunities squandered. It would be Palace next who would look to the heavens in frustration after [REDACTED] raced down the Selhurst turf on the break to launch a rocket of a cross across goal which was punched away with venom by a diving Etheridge before Aaron Wan-Bissaka was challenged very strongly on the edge of the box to cancel out the swiftly-worked chance.

Quote:

Palace struck back with their own chance moments later as [REDACTED] picked out an un-marked Kouyate in the area whose resulting effort was only prevented from hitting the target by Sol Bamba's out-stretched leg, which left the ball spinning over for a corner.

Quote:

The chances didn't relent and [REDACTED] tried persistently to cut inside and shoot at Etheridge but was eventually forced to fire an effort from a tight angle, somehow managing to force the 28-year-old shot-stopper into a save.

Quote:

Meyer found himself disappointed just minutes later as he ran into the box only to shoot over a gilt-edged opportunity. The talented German was replaced by Connor Wickham shortly afterwards, who was immediately involved as he glanced a header towards and un-marked [REDACTED] in the box who could only volley the ball over with a first-time hit.

Quote:

The status quo was resumed, however, when [REDACTED] fizzed a shot at goal which Etheridge launched himself at along the floor to push it wide of the post in a smart save.

Quote:

A goal was seemingly refusing to materialise for the home side as [REDACTED] raced into Cardiff's box after Wickham did well to play him through, only to have what looked to be a guaranteed goal fantastically swept out of play by defender Bruno Ecuele Manga.

Our next most popular corrects were significantly less popular.

This guy assisted on that 61st minute goal, but he was already correct after his 16th minute goal.

& just like that we're on to the aces.

1st, our most recent correct answer. He became correct during the 1st minute of stoppage time in the 1st half, & again on a 58th minute PK. His team is currently leading 2-1 in the 87th minute.

Eden Hazard - 1

Next, a pair of teammates who linked up on a 78th minute goal.

Jesse Lingard - 1

This guy not only scored that 78th minute goal, but also a 64th minute one. It's almost as if he didn't like his previous manager. Almost.

This guy was very popular on certain other questions, but apparently most people expected him to take Boxing Day off. Unlike most of his teammates, he did not, scoring his team's only goal in the 7th minute of a 1-1 draw.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 1
Ledders
