Embarrassing seeing some people defend the benteke miss, even stating the game was already won and that it didn't matter.
Leicester had a half chance seconds later and sometimes half chances are converted.
How do you know that we won't miss out on fourth by goal difference this season either? You don't do you? So it did f**king matter actually.
As it turned out, we won the game, so it doesn't matter. For all their goal difference advantages, one other team above us have beaten Leicester this season. Just one.
We beat the league leaders at home 1-0 and won at home for the first time on this date in 6 years. All we had to do was win the game, by hook or by crook. That's what we did.
We know you don't like Benteke, and his general play in this game was very poor, but he gives us another option when free flowing gegenpressing doesn't work. There will be more times this year where we'll need him to bail us out again.
