Lescott gaffe puts Hart in tight spot

Man City 3 Everton 1

The England goalkeeper’s poor performance against Bayern Munich last Wednesday hardly showcased City’s defensive prowess so, after only 15 minutes against Everton, Hart scarcely needed team-mate Joleon Lescott to make an appalling error which gifted Romelu Lukaku the opening goal.

It was a strong, and relatively close range shot from the on-loan Chelsea forward but one which Hart managed to get a hand behind in helping it into his goal.
