Luis Vazquez has the mental strength to bounce back from his awful miss at Derby County.

Vazquez stuck the ball over the crossbar from about four yards in the 89th minute, after Jacob Zetterstrom parried Ethan Laird's shot into his path.

Footage of the blunder was soon doing the rounds for the world to see. People began to debate whether it was one of football's worst ever howlers.

Vazquez had been highly effective as a substitue for Blues up to that point.
