Joleon Lescott is the most confusing player in the Premiership. His first goal today was classic Lescott with Osman flicking the ball on and Jolly lurking round the 6 yard box to prod it home, so far, so very Joleon. If his first goal was classic Lescott though, his second was more like classic David Platt, after another flick on this time from Jags, he swivelled on the edge of the 6 yard box and struck a sweet volley with his back to goal - beating Friedel and seemingly rescuing a draw in injury time from a game which we could have easily won with our performance.
But this is where the confusion sets in.
After an impeccable performance and with literally seconds left on the clock, the ball was prodded through to Ashley Young from Agbonlahor and Young goes past Jolly as if he's not there and slots the ball home, breaking the hearts of toffees fans everywhere. This has been typical of him this season, a strange and quirky mixture of attacking flair and inept defending which has caused in me both serene rapture and howling rage all year.
Despite the result however, this was one of our better performances this season. We dominated the midfield for the most part, with Fellaini in particular looking dangerous despite his outward appearance of a lanky afro'd clown, and to come so close to beating what is now an excellent Aston Villa side with the injury problems we're having is nothing to be sniffed at. It was just a shame that we capitulated so poorly after playing so well.
