Manchester City supporters were left baffled by the decision to assign Riyad Mahrez to penalty duties when Kevin De Bruyne is in such red-hot goal-scoring form. Mahrez missed from 12 yards to put City on the brink of yet another Premier League title.
On yet another dramatic Sunday afternoon, champions City were made to work hard for the point they eventually picked up against West Ham after falling behind to a double from Jarrod Bowen. Those goals stunned Pep Guardiola and his men before Jack Grealish and Vladimir Coufal (OG) turned things around.
But there was further drama to come amid that London Stadium fight-back. Indeed, with the title race still open, if looking favourable from a City perspective, Mahrez stepped up from the spot in the closing stages and saw his late kick saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
