  • 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Erling Haaland makes it 0-1.

  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. John McGinn made 355 appearances and scored 35 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 90' The crowd applauds Leon Bailey as he leaves the pitch. Emiliano Buendia steps in for Aston Villa FC.
