Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Watford FC and Rotherham United FC has kicked off!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sam Clucas suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Goal! Mileta Rajovic scores his 12 goal in 358 matches.
