He was probably keen to be forgiven. On Saturday, in the FA Cup final, Omar Marmoush missed a penalty that cost his team dearly, beaten by Crystal Palace (0-1) and a major trophy this season.

While the Skyblues must now ensure their qualification in the Champions League, the Egyptian striker put his team on good rails against Bournemouth. The former Frankfurt player won a distant, unstoppable strike for Kepa (14th). Already the seventh goal in the Premier League for Marmoush, who arrived in England this winter.
