Aston Villa debutant Danny Drinkwater trended on Twitter for his “disasterclass” as Chelsea’s £30million flop was torn apart by both Manchester City and social media.
The former England midfielder was slated as “completely disinterested” and mocked as his blunder helped gift ex-Leicester team-mate Riyad Mahrez his second goal as Sergio Aguero’s hat-trick led City’s 6-1 romp, report The Sun.
Aguero scored a hat-trick to become the highest-scoring overseas player in Premier League history as Manchester City beat Aston Villa 6-1 to move up to second in the table.
Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring with a low shot past Orjan Nyland after 18 minutes.
The Algerian doubled City’s lead six minutes later before Aguero fired in from 20 yards to make the score 3-0 after 28 minutes.
Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi grabbed a late consolation from the penalty spot.
Meawhile, ex-Three Lions hero Gary Lineker led the digs by tweeting: “Mahrez and Drinkwater still playing well together.”
One fan joked: “Drinkwater’s loan will be cancelled at half-time at this rate”.
Another claimed the 28-year-old was “still on hibernation mode”.
One said: “£140,000 a week – mind-blowing” – while a common opinion was: “He is as bad as Kevin De bruyne is good”.
