-13th min. Hicks great ball through to Krishna, bet his player and finished nicely.
-14th min. Canty long ball. Italiano and Shermy both went for it. Cocked it up. Open goal finish for White.
-55th min. Canty long ball down right side. Boxall too far up. Crossed in to Kamo, good finish.
1st half - Hicks and Rufer a real class above. Dimairo was impressive at RB. Very solid. Nix dominated possession about 70/30.
2nd half - Rufer the stand out again. Messy half. Possession 50/50. Long balls galore. Italiano looked very wobbly.
EDIT: Thought I should add that Boxall looked very solid in the Defensive midfield role. Stopped a lot of play and organised well before reverting back to RB in the 2nd half.
