Liverpool call for a penalty
71. Moore wipes out O’Rourke on the goalline but the ref gives a goal kick.
67. It looks like nobody will stop Koumetio as he charges straight down the middle towards Klaesson’s goal. The crowd are relieved to watch his shot go well wide.
66. Klaesson drops the ball from a corner but the referee rules that Williams and O’Rourke have fouled him and the Whites get a free kick.
Scramble in the Liverpool box
65. Gray pulls clear on the right wing and puts the ball into the six yard box where McGurk is waiting, but the midfielder trips and can’t get a shot off. Summerville also takes a swipe from close range but his shot is blocked and Liverpool clear the ball.
Yellow card for Jenkins
61. Jack Jenkins is floored by a challenge and seems to kick out at the player who brought him down. Goes into the ref’s book.
