تجارب احترافية لم تكتمل

Wigan Athletic coach Steve Bruce thinks that Amr Zaki’s wasted opportunity against Manchester City could be the Premiership’s miss of the season.

The Egypt striker had a golden opportunity to restore parity with six minutes remaining after Wigan fell behind to Pablo Zabaleta's 53rd-minute goal.

Lee Cattermole's deflected header struck the bar and went into the 25-year-old’s path, but he headed astonishingly over the bar with the goal at his mercy.

"It was arguably the miss of the season. It was harder to miss it than score," Bruce was quoted as saying by BBC Sport after the match.

"But we played very well and threw everything at them.

"For effort and endeavour we deserved something. We were unfortunate - we came roaring back after looking a bid jaded in the first half."

Zaki, who joined Wigan from Zamalek on a season-long loan in the summer, scored 10 league goals so far.
