GOAL GREENWOOD! It all starts with Paul Pogba. Pogba strides into the box and produces a slick one-two with Fernandes to set up Greenwood. Greenwood strikes a low ball through the legs of Salisu and into the back of the net, who seems to be blocking the vision of McCarthy. McMarthy will probably feel he should of done more to stop that one.

Chance for Livramento! Che Adams cuts a beautifully set ball back to Livramento, who finds himself in acres of space in front of goal. The young right back strikes the ball wildly and his effort flies over the bar.
