Ayden Heaven struggled against BournemouthSadly for Heaven, he has been identified as one of the main culprits at the back, as he was directly responsible for the Cherries’ first two strikes. Heaven, who was hailed for his ‘fantastic’ performances by Wayne Rooney last season, hasn’t been able to impress in recent weeks.
