Half time at two-nil.
Dressing room was four minutes of water and one minute of me. Same shape. Same plan. Mateo carries every time he gets it. Wilf and Eze for goal one. Wilf and Christopher for goal two. We do not chase the third. We let it come. They will tire. They will tire and they will give it to us.
We did not chase the third. The third came.
Fifty-eighth minute. Eze corner.
It was the corner he had been putting in all season. Between the six-yard line and the penalty spot, on the keeper's side, where the keeper had to come for it or the centre-half headed it home from six yards.
The keeper came. The keeper got there. He pushed it onto Mama's forehead. Mama did not get a clean header on it. The ball came down to the back post on the bounce.
Ibrahima Konaté was at the back post.
He hit it on the half-volley with his right foot.
Three-nil.
