View attachment 229257
The score line doesn't show the full story to this one I'm afraid as Matt was terribly unlucky most past of the game. As you can see we had the same about of shots on target but seemed like my strikers had a better day in the office. First real chance came along with
Lennon missing a 1 on 1 by miles which could of put
Matt in the lead.
First goal came from Sturridge with a lovely strike with a left foot just inside the penalty area in the bottom left hand corner.
Matt's team had a great counter attack going on with
Uche putting in Lennon yet again with a 1 on 1 with
Mignelot but still couldnt get past him but at least made him create a save with time to tip it wide for a corner.
Jovetic thought he had made it
1-1 with a strike but was ruled offside.
A quick attack from
Murley's men tried to get back into things with
Poli placing a nice ball into Sturridges feet but couldn't test the keeper.
Robben got inside the box and done what he does best... No, not score but dive and get a cheeky penalty for
Long to place right past Guzan. 2-0
Robben turned on the tempo and did a nice solo goal when running from the right hand side past 2 defenders and a easy side foot past
Guzan to make it 3-0.
With delight, Matt's men still carried on a
fight back when Reus out jumped Rekik in the box to head it to
Jovetic which also headed it towards goal but Mignelot pulled out an world class save but still knocked it into play for
Jovetic to tap in from a tight angle. 3-1
Long pulled off an amazing strike outside the box to make it
4-1.
Guzan was in incredible form throughout the game making saves left right and centre with
Long being a terror.
Yilmaz scored to make it 4-2 with a weak shot toward
Mignelot but he managed to slip up yet again to concede another goal.
Matt's men as a attacking spree for 7 minutes keep knocking on
Mignelot's door with him having to make a few worldie saves to keep them in it.
Robben received a low pass from a corner to run past
Reus and smash it into the back of the net to make it finish at 5-2.
All in all was a great game where a player or 2 had let Matt's team down in the final third.
Good Game Mate.
