Holy shit, that was a lovely pass into Noni. And a very cool finish from him.
Time to welcome back FA Cup Winner Matt Smith…
How can they simultaneously sit back when we have the ball and also keep such a high defensive line when we get near their penalty area?! That’s just suicide!
And now Gabi J.
This is turning into an absolute slaughter!
Just what we need for our confidence!
4-0 OK now I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for Wigan

Funny thing on this one is that the defender actually plays Martinelli onside by preemptively trying to get ahead of his run. That’s like basic shit you coach under-12s not to do. But he did it at basically the highest level.
