They say you should never leave anything out on the pitch, especially in the big games, but unfortunately for Aleksandar Kolarov he had no choice in the matter during yesterday’s lively Mancunian derby.
The Man City defender put in another impressively stoic shift at the back, but finished the game with one of his teeth missing after being caught by – surprise, surprise – a flailing Marouane Fellaini elbow.
Kolarov was happy to show off his war wound while posing for a post-match victory photo with Willy Caballero, who referred to the Serbian as “a warrior”…
We wondered what that whistling noise was.
