LACEY CURLS JUST OVER

SESKO HEADS WIDE

United's fans are trying to get behind their team, but it often boils over into frustration as they will their team on to attack. Lacey crosses in from the right and Sesko sends it wide of the opposite corner.

Goal!

Welbeck
AN ABSOLUTE ROCKET FROM DANNY WELBECK!!! Gruda plays the ball into the path of Welbeck who takes a touch to take it away from Yoro and then he rifles it into the top left corner!!!

Yellow Card

Mainoo is the first player to go into the book as Welbeck gets away from him and he resorts to clipping his heels.
54'

VELTMAN SENDS IT INTO ROW Z

Gruda is fouled on the right edge of the United box. He gets up to take the resulting free-kick, sending it low into the box. It falls for Veltman who is leaning back to reach it and thumps it well over the crossbar.

A good performance in the first half. Both teams have had their chances

A good performance in the first half. Both teams have had their chances, but Albion have taken theirs.
45'+1'

CUNHA DRAGS WIDE

That's a let off for Albion as Cunha gets away from Veltman and then looks to beat Steele at his near post from the edge of the box, but sees it fly inches wide.
35'

WELBECK FIRES INTO THE SIDE NETTING

Kadioglu's cross from the left is well recycled by Albion as Gruda plays it down the side of the box for Danny, but his cross flies straight into the side netting. United go down the other end and Veltman brings down Sesko 25 yards from the Albion goal. Free-kick. Fernandes to take.
33'

STEELE SEES THE DANGER

Dorgu slots the ball down the left of the box for Martinez, he looks to get to the by-line to cross low, but Steele races off his line to block it.
27'

BIG BOSCAGLI BLOCK

The ball falls kindly for Martinez to strike on the left of the Albion box, he gets a good contact on it, but Boscagli throws himself in front of it, sending it well clear of danger. Love that.
Image
Brajan Gruda enjoyed that one.
22'

VELTMAN RIFLES WIDE

If that goes in then Joel Veltman might have been in with a shout for goal of the season. Gross' free-kick is cleared to the edge of the United box for Veltman to smack on the half volley, but he sends it a couple of yards wide of the bottom left corner. Terrific strike.
17'

CUNHA SMASHES OVER

That's not far away from the Brazilian as he lets fly from just over 20 yards, sending the ball a couple of feet over the crossbar.
14'

WELBECK SHOULD SCORE

That is an unbelievable opportunity for the striker as he intercepts Lammens' pass on the edge of the box and has an empty goal to aim at, but his effort is too central which allows Lammens to dive and keep it out, before Georignio is ruled offside for the follow up!

Brajan Gruda
ALBION TAKE THE LEAD!!! It's a terrific move that sees Welbz cross into the middle, Georgi has a header cleared off the line, but Gruda is there to fire in to put us in front!!!
7'

FERNANDES DENIED BY STEELE

United win a free-kick just under 30 yards from the Albion goal. Fernandes plays a one-two with Mainoo before bending the ball towards the bottom right corner, but Steele gets a big palm on it to steer it wide for a corner. A lot of United pressure early on, which Jason Steele is having to deal with the bulk of.
2'

STEELE SAVES ONE V ONE

Dalot is played in on goal by Cunha, the full back runs at Jason Steele who gets a leg in the way of the shot! Brilliant keeping. Jason then has to win a legs race to the ball against Sesko, which he does so, blasting the ball down field.
