We haven't been able to get cleanly on the ball for a while now. Just needed to calm it down and keep it.

Martinez should have got a hand to that.

No card for a blatant dive by Nketiah

This is the sort of thing I think VAR should be able to alert the ref to, it's very clear and doesn't need any debate, just book him at the next break in play. Everyone watching the game knows he cheated but because the ref missed it he gets away with it.

I don’t think the ref missed it, he just chose not to book him

He gave a free kick didn't he?

The free kick came two or three niggly challenges after the dive.

Should Mings have headed that cross out rather than back into the penalty area?

Mings will be in the video room with the coaching team for 6 hours rewatching that. Tsk!

It was a great finish but terrible defending from Mings. If Martinez gives him a shout it's an easy catch, it not head it back the way it came or out for a corner.

The cross was behind Mings so

The cross was "behind" Mings so there was virtually no chance he could head it out for a corner
