    One positive for Granada has been the performance of young substitute Jeremie Boga. The on-loan signing from Chelsea has a chance to score a second but shoots straight at Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

    Andreas Pereira forces Marc-Andre ter Stegen into a routine save from distance. Not bad from the loan signing from Manchester United but Granada need more quality if they are going to get a second equaliser.
