It's a scuffed shot that's deflected by the defender. It probably shouldn't be given but considering what constitutes an assist in this game...

Definitely not a real assist but much like with the Sturridge one it is his intention to play the ball to Barton. I think it was a ridiculous ruling last time out but they can't go changing there mind on it now.

Di Maria assist Rooney goal clip for those who didn't see it. Annoying how it jumps when the ball gets to Rooney but you get the idea!

Doesn't even seem like a shot to me, looks like he's trying to play it through to himself. We'll see what happens after the Opta update

The Gibzilla

C'mon now, lads. Let's all be be happy for Charlie. Fair enough, it wasn't an assist in the "traditional" sense, but he's a good lad!

Yeah, on second viewing it does look like he's trying to nutmeg the defender alright. On third viewing it's clearly just some genius snooker pass to barton though :pac:

After a nightmare week last GW I completely switched off from FF. Was not arsed transferring out Bellerin for example. Having a cracker so far this gameweek with Sanchez, Bellerin and Austin (c) but thankfully I care less in general after a few tough weeks. Also put a €5 free bet with PP on Bellerin FGS @ 50/1 so a good day!!

Currently at 45 from 5 with an expected 9 in bonus from Austin (C) and Sanchez.

Really nice move from Chelsea but Oscar botched the shot! Would have been a Hazard assist too!

Mr.Prodston

It's amazing at just how indifferent I feel towards the game atm. These Austin shenanigans would have been like an arrow to the knee just a month ago but now tis but a mere scratch.

I might actually enjoy football for the last 2 months of the season as there's nothing much at stake anymore, I lost my dignity a long time ago anyway so no need to worry about that :pac:

How the hell does he delay for so long, can't believe that technique

jimmii

Hazard with his normal penalty GK seems to move very early make it super easy for him why not! Why are keepers still diving on his penalties its ridiculous!!

It really is amazing. I just don't get why keepers don't just wait for him to hit it though it normally goes close enough so that they should be able to react in time.

What a goal adam
