Nicklas Bendtner provides exquisite assist... for the wrong team

For once, Nicklas Bendtner has let his football do the talking this season –but unfortunatelyfor him, this definitely wasn't one of his better nights.The Danish striker has settled atRosenborg brilliantly since signing in March, having scored 17 times in his 36 appearances in all competitions so far.This, however, wasn't so positive. With Rosenborg trailing 2-0 atRoberto Mancini's Zenit Saint Petersburg, Bendtner received the ball just inside his own half before playing a lovely defence-splitting pass to sendEmiliano Rigoni through on goal. The only problem was thatRigoni plays for Zenit, and kept his composure to put the Russian outfit three goals ahead.The inverted Kevin De Bruyne, if you will.Nicklas Bendtner grabbed an assist from a defence-splitting pass this evening......
