That’s it from me. Thanks for your company and emails; I’ll leave you with David Hytner’s report.

Thomas Tuchel's reaction
Disappointing result. We maybe deserved more result-wise but again we felt frozen, not active enough. We defended quite well for a long period in the first half but the first two goals were very easy goals. We need to defend better.
The reaction to going 2-1 down was good and we had our best spel. We were more active, more free, more fluid, more aggressive. We had some big chances to equalise.
[On the disallowed goal] Err, I just saw it. It looks like it’s more the shoulder than the hand. Okay. What I don’t understand is that it’s the first time the referee revisits a goal. Either it’s a mistake, so take it away, or it’s not and it’s a goal. To look at it again and again and again, it’s against the rules, no, or against the sense of law.
[Why did Ivan Toney only come on with three minutes left?] First of all, it was more than three minutes. Second of all, I think Ivan is a specialist for exactly these kinds of situations. We created a lot of chances with Morgan Gibbs-White, with Ebs, with Morgan Rogers and with Jude, all in fluid positions. I think Ivan is the strongest if we have a phase where we put a lot of balls in the box and that was the case.
We got him ready after 80 minutes, then we scored and then they took the gal away so it took longer than we wanted.
