WHAT AN EFFORT FROM JAMES
Met by Smallbone and Walkers-Peters on the edge of the box, he flicks a ball to Rutter and gets it back on the half-volley before lashing an unstoppable effort which comes crashing back off the crossbar.

EDOZIE WITH A GREAT CHANCE
He was free to run through on goal, but opted to run inside Ampadu and could not execute a curler into the far top corner.
