50 min HUL 0-0 SW What a challenge from Curtis Davies! Michael Dawson misjudges' Westwood's long kick upfield, allowing Forestieri a run on Jakupovic's goal. He is forced wide before Davies comes haring across to block.

53 min HUL 0-0 SW Westwood again - Dawson left all alone at the back post but unable to compose himself in time.

58 min HUL 0-0 SW Lovely ball across from Odubajo but Robertson, all alone in front of Westwood, can only send his effort way over the bar.
