66 min Stansfield is booked for dragging Schar over the touchline and into the promoting boards. Schar was attempting to usher the ball out of play and was despatched flying. He stays down for 30 seconds or so, then will get to his ft and instantly begins pointing angrily at Stansfield. This recreation, as Man Mowbray says on the BBC, has had all the pieces.

“Seeing as how Willock and Wilson have scored for the opposition,” begins Peter Oh, “I reckon the Birmingham supervisor has no selection however to throw Willum Willumsson into the fray. “
Iwata’s objective is getting higher each time you see it. Nick Pope might have gotten a slight contact as he leapt to his left however he had no likelihood of saving it.
The assistant referee wasn’t completely in line when he awarded Joe Willock’s objective. Even now, after 10 or extra replays, I’m unsure both approach.
