Diego Costa Shot Takes Wonky Deflection for Goal, Brad Guzan Gets Sniped

Poor Brad Guzan never had a chance here, but that doesn't mean we can't still laugh at him.

There's not much Brad Guzan could have done here. Sometimes the universe just works against you and you've got to just look at the smug, pixelated dog as a pair of sunglasses descend onto his face. Cesc Fàbregas put the ball on Diego Costa's chest and after briefly struggling to control it, Costa turned around and whipped the ball at the goal. It looked like Aston Villa had it covered pretty well, with two defenders converging on Costa, but the ball took a huge deflection off Alan Hutton's leg and went looping into the near corner of the net.

Poor Brad Guzan was anticipating something on the far side so he was leaning the wrong way and had no chance to recover. Not at all his fault, but that doesn't mean we can't all point and laugh at his slow-motion collapse.
