It should really be 4-0 as James Tavernier swings in a delicious, curling free-kick for Connor Goldson to attack. However, the central defender is slightly off with his timing and the ball hits the side of his face and that allows the keeper to save.

Pass of the night from James Tavernier as he slams a cross-field volley right into the feet of Ryan Kent. The winger races on but wildly overhits his cross when he might have been better off going it alone.
