Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has apologised to the club's fans after they watched the Red Devils throw away a 3-1 lead over Leicester City.
Mata and company had looked in control up until the 62nd minute, when the Foxes launched a blistering comeback at the King Power Stadium, grabbing three points and subjecting the Red Devils to another defeat.
With Manchester United having travelled south with optimism after crushing QPR 4-0 the previous weekend, the defeat was unimaginable, Mata explained.
"After a whole week waiting for the match, I could not imagine a Sunday like this", he wrote on his blog.
"On our way back to Manchester I was thinking about what had happened and felt so disappointed."
