- 22' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Neil Taylor suffering a number of foals already.

- 66' Aston Villa FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 70' The crowd applauds Jonathan Kodjia as he leaves the pitch. Yannick Bolasie steps in for Aston Villa FC.
- 74' Brilliant from the ! John McGinn makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 74.
