Half-time at the Amex.

Glorious chance for O'Riley. Adingra's cross is perfect for the Denmark international, who dives to meet the ball, but sends it wide of the bottom right corner.

28'

VAR

PENALTY TO ALBION! Adingra's shot from the edge of the box strikes the arm of Coady, who moves his arm towards the ball. You could argue it's a red card.
25'
Another chance for Albion. Adingra's cross is met by Welbeck in the middle of the Leicester box, but he sends it onto the roof of the net. Not far away.
23'
The Leicester player does everything right there as he sits Hinshelwood down in the Albion box before having plenty of space to get a shot away, but he curls it over the crossbar. He should be scoring. A huge let off.

Corner

Okoli nod over from Thomas's corner.
16'
Simon Adingra again gets the better of Justin and has a shot from a tight angle, which Hermansen manages to palm away.
11'
Simon Adingra gets past Justin and looks as if he's curled the ball beautifully into the top right corner, but it's a matter of inches wide. Really close.
10'
Yankuba Minteh should put Albion in front as he meets Simon Adingra's cross at the back post, but it hits his shin and goes behind for a goal-kick.
8'
RoundArrow

Yellow Card

El Khannouss drags back Baleba back as the stand-in centre back drove into midfield.

5'
RoundArrow

Corner

Early corner for Albion as James Justin deflects Simon Adingra's cross behind. Yasin Ayari swings it in, but it's headed clear. Estupinan mops up and looks to swing a cross in, which is nodded behind by Coady for another corner.
