Min 15: Now the ball comes to Jack Wontshire (CN)...

Min 17: Sam Cook (CN) nods the ball down for Jack Wilshere on the edge of the box...
        ...Jack Wilshere takes a heavy touch into the box...

        ...and Andy Goram scrambles to it.
Min 23: Period of head tennis in the middle of the pitch...
        ...finally a ball is played along the ground towards Silvinho (CN)...
        ...but the impressive Paul Banks (NJN) is able to get the ball back to A Goram.
Min 32: Cheeky back heel from Jack Wontshire to release Silvinho in the box...
        ...but the American is correctly ruled to have been off-side.

        ...Per Mertersacker was brave...
        ...and can't get it past the onrushing A Goram.
Min 39: Mike Morton Jnr (NJN) breaks away and charges into the penalty area...
