Georgios Vagiannidis was sent for a clumsy challenge to the top scorer before giving way to Gassama to make his appearance for the first time by doubling their progress.

Nicholas Raskin exploded forward early while fans were chanting to expect, but they shot after the distant publication.

After that, the midfielder picked a yellow card to move it to the botto pellistri, a decision that seemed to have sparked visitors to life.

Jacques Butland set out from a smart memorization shortly after, with Nemanja Maksimovic to break the apostasy in some way on the post.
