Michael Vaughan trolled for calculation error after taking a dig at Marouane Fellaini

Former English cricket skipper, Michael Vaughan, who is an ardent follower of football, especially Premier League fixtures and he regularly tweets during the games too. He didn’t miss the chance to troll Manchester United’s Marouane Fellaini, but he made a small mathematical calculation and hence got trolled himself.

Tottenham Hotspur completely outplayed one of the most accomplished teams in the English Premier League, Manchester United on Wednesday.

With the loss (2-0), Machester United (MU) fell 15 points behind Premier League leaders and their arch-rivals, Manchester City (MC). It was a torrid performance by Jose Mourinho’s men, as they lacked any intent to go down 0-2 to Tottenham.

It was Christian Eriskon who score for the Spurs to ruin Alexis Sanchez’s first Premier League game for the Manchester United.

However, it was not the only talking point throughout the match, as Marouane Fellaini’s substitution also got everyone talking.

With Man Utd looking down the barrel after the hour mark, Mourinho made a couple of substitutions by bringing in Spanish striker Juan Mata and Fellaini in the 63rd minute to salvage some pride during `the match.

However, quite bizarrely Fellaini was taken off just seven minutes later while being replaced by Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera. Despite a pat from Mourinho, Fellaini was visibly disappointed, as he took off his shirt and marched straight towards the tunnel.

Here’s what actually unfolded over the micro-blogging website Twitter:

Fans quickly caught the error and started trolling Vaughan

Vaughan eventually apologised for the factual error.

Meanwhile, the defeat to United ends any hopes for the team that may have harboured of catching runaway topper in the group, Manchester City.
