I like to see Bobb get a decent run out.

Walker now starts instead of Akanji. I hope Manuel is okay.

Good first half in the end. I was going to moan at only being 1-0 up and the finishing but I'm happy enough with 2-0. A lovely goal from Phil.

What a lovely second goal from Phil.

A stroll in the park deserving of a two goal, or more, lead.

Kovacic deserves a mention, thought he was excellent.

The only thing that worries me is the finishing again. It is okay in a game like this but in a tight game we have to put them away better.

I hope Stones and Akanji are okay.

A wee positive a clean sheet. The lack of finishing is a slight worry but given it was a knock about for the last 30 minutes plus probably not a real concern tonight.

Unfortunately, Pep has confirmed that John Stones is injured and will be out a while.

That's so disappointing about Stones. That lad has no luck with injuries. Had he been fit for more of his career he would have been right up there.
