It's going to be the left foot of
Robertson. Swung to the far post and
it's Yan Paul Vanhka. He's just met it
on the half volley. Fourman Wall for
Tottenham.
Referee's whistle goes. It's going to be
gone. A right footed effort. It's an
awkward one for Kinsky to deal with. It
might have been on his side, but it
bounced just in front of him. He has to
push it out and it's going to be a
corner now for Everton. Yeah, he always
always makes the keeper make a save and
he's he's done well because he has
bounced just before him
>> out to the left side with Michelenko.
Here is Tyreek George down the left
side. One v one against Archie Gray.
Good play by George. Dinks it to the far
post. IT'S DANGEROUS GETS THERE and I
think somehow rather fortuitously for
the goalkeeper. It's just come off the
head of Anthony Kinsky in Jural. He's
put in some good deliveries so far. Can
he do another one towards the near post?
Keeper comes for it. IT'S NOT
CONVINCING. COMES OUT TO GEORGE FOR
STRIKE. WELL blocked off by Bentenor.
Goes back out. Can George keep it alive?
He can't. Malmush will just go back to
Bentenor
just as the ball bounced up there for
Tyreek George. You know how well he can
strike a ball.
Shows you the depth of MAN CITY. OH,
THAT'S AWFUL. THAT'S AWFUL by Kinsky.
CHBURY HALL HAS TO SCORE. He's played
off there and somehow Kinsky's recovered
to make the save. Anthony Kinsky, awful
ball out, but little dink, little dink
over the keeper. There you go. Oh,
[screaming]
[cheering]
a ball goes in, comes back out.
Armstrong gives it to Brennan Johnson.
Johnson with the delivery in. What a
ball that was towards Barry. But it's
really good defending by Yan Paul Vanhka
just to head it away. Bullet header
away.
>> Bram waits with Garner. Garner into
Jezbury Hall. Brilliant touch by Jes
Hall. HE WILL PULL IT BACK. OH, BRENON
JOHNSON.
>> How he would have loved to score here.
Comes into Robertson. Robertson lays it
off for Nali. Good strike at goal. Great
block by Bran. What a game he's had.
Here is Mohamed Cudis. Cudis left footed
cross in headed by Armstrong.
It's a bit messy in the box now. It's
Savio with the strike and it's Armstrong
with the block
all the way back into Jared Bram. Now
here is Jordan Pigford on the ball.
Oh, it's a right footed ball on his
weaker foot. What's he done there? He's
given it away. Tottenham with an
opportunity. BERG FOUL FROM DISTANCE AND
Pigford has made a really good save.
