We have a check for an Albion penalty as Mats Wieffer is dragged down
We have a check for an Albion penalty as Mats Wieffer is dragged down, but nothing given. We win a free-kick in the centre circle, but the referee blows the whistle for half-time.

MOSQUERA WALKING A TIGHTROPE NOW

KADIOGLU BLOCKS GEORGINIO'S STRIKE
That's unfortunate for Albion as Kadioglu wins possession high up, plays the ball to Georginio who has a thump at goal from 18 yards, but Kadioglu, who had fallen over making the pass, slides in the way of the shot and it's behind for a goal-kick.

LOVELY MITOMA CROSS

12'
GABRIEL DENIES MITOMA
Mitoma dashes into the box and looks to place the ball past Raya, but Arsenal defender Gabriel slides in to block it. It looks as if the Japan international hurts his ankle too.
