Serge Aurier is to defensive errors what WrestleMania is to Sports Entertainment. He is the pinnacle of the genre.
The Ivorian was culpable for Chelsea’s first goal in last weekend’s 2-0 defeat, and has been at it again at Norwich City this evening.
He did not have fortune on his side at Carrow Road, as he was slightly unsighted for this clumsy own goal which restored Norwich’s lead, soon after Christian Eriksen had levelled the scores at 1-1.

Aurier is not solely to blame here. There are a series of defensive errors which contribute – look at the size of the gaps between the back four. I thought Jose Mourinho was supposed to tighten us up defensively?
But he is the main event – the Hulk Hogan, if you will. But instead of the Atomic Leg Drop, Aurier’s finish was the ‘Bobble off the Leg.’
1…2…3…and that’s just counting his mistakes in the last week.
