Neither Willy Caballero nor Thibaut Courtois will come away from Stamford Bridge feeling good about their performances Wednesday.

The Manchester City and Chelsea shot-stoppers each committed grave errors in the first half of their Premier League matchup. Caballero misjudged a shot from Eden Hazard to concede the opening goal, but Courtois one-upped his counterpart by gifting possession to the visitor ahead of Sergio Aguero's equaliser:

Caballero tried to redeem himself later in the stanza with a big stop on Hazard's penalty - only for the Belgian dynamo to follow up his spot-kick and restore Chelsea's lead.

Courtois' mistake was a bit more surprising considering his consistent form for the champion-elect. No other goalkeeper has recorded more clean sheets than Courtois' 13 this season.
