Premier League side Manchester City were trailing defending champions Leicester City 3-0 by half-time at the King Power Stadium in their league match played on Saturday. The shocking result sent social media into a frenzy and one Claudio Bravo was one of the main subjects of discussion.
The defending champions won the match 4-2. Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick and Andy King scored one for the hosts. The visitor's goals were scored by Kolarov and Nolito.
The former Barcelona shot-stopper was brought in over the summer to replace Joe Hart, who was from the Emirates Stadium to Torino on loan. But contrary to the expectations, the Chilean has been soaking in goals since moving to his new club.
To put the matter into perspective, the Citizens have kept just one clean sheet in their last 17 games in all competitions. If that sounds terrible, then the stat below further explains how the 33-year-old was a pale shadow of his former self against the Foxes earlier today.

Anyone remember when ManCity signed Claudio Bravo and he was then suddenly better than David De Gea (God)? Good times. #mufc

I was alive when Manchester City got rid of Joe Hart and replaced him with Claudio Bravo
