90+3′ Stewart does his defensive job
Stewart clears Bannan’s corner.
Important intervention of the attacker.
Doyle replaced Clarke.
90+2′ Big Bath Block
Wednesday we apply more pressure but Batth has just made an excellent counter to deny Windass.
89′ Chance for a second!
That would have been a huge goal.
Cirkin’s clearance caused chaos at the back for Wednesday and Peacock-Farrell’s header clearance attempt fell on Stewart.
The goalkeeper manages to get back on his line before the attacker fires a low shot to the side.
