Those looking for stakes at the end of this season should keep a close eye on Bielsa, who’s very much fighting for his life now after a poor performance here. Aguero and Henderson were able to exploit some iffy defensive work, with Arbor Red far less than their usual dynamic selves. Salah did at least wake up in the latter stages with a fantastic solo goal in stoppage time, but it was very much too little, too late.
