WIDE!!! Cresswell hangs up a cross from the left, which Paqueta brings down on the opposite side. With options aplenty joining him in the area, the Brazilian steps onto his left foot and shoots goalwards, but his attempt takes a nick off a team-mate and sails wide for a goal kick!

CHANCE! Kehrer's free-kick is suwng in from deep but evades everyone before being kept in play by Benrahma. His cross back into the area finds the head of Antonio, but Lindelof is there to nod his effort off the line and Eriksen hacks the ball clear!

WIDE! Antonio and Paqueta keep the ball well down the left, with the latter skipping beyond Eriksen to cross from the byline. The ball floats high before landing on the right foot of Soucek, whose volley from a tight angle lashes into the side netting.
