Thought they started quicker than us but other than Kent's miss when he came in from behind a sleeping Ralston they created nothing. We scored with our first chance, Jota doing what Kent couldn't, then dominated possession and chances for the second half of the first half. Second half was similar in that they started quicker but again we had the chances but failed to score the 2nd, Maeda blasting over the bar being the best chance. The subs seemed to work for us and we took control of the midfield, but Bitton getting himself booked meant he couldn't tackle and give Beaton an excuse to send him off. Their subs made an immediate impact and they scored their goal against the run of play. The last 15 mins or so was them throwing everything at us, expected as it was their last chance of putting pressure on us at the top, they even went Goldson as striker for the last 10 and were launching punts up to him. Starfelt was superb, ably supported by CCV and McGregor showed why he won the Players POTY award last night.
Since we won easily in February the two teams seem to cancel each other in the three games since. They are a decent team, you don't reach the semi finals of the Europa League if you're a poor team. They are not great to watch but efficient in what they do, however they are a team coming to the end of a 4 year cycle and will have massive upheaval in the summer (not as much as we did last summer) and we will get stronger after this group of players, with more Ange signings, get a full pre season together.
