41 min: Sanchez goes close! He brilliantly controls a high ball, turns inside Boyd and flashes a curling shot just wide of Heaton’s left-hand post. That was inches. The quickness of the Chilean’s feet (and mind) is ridiculous.
22 min: Now Gabriel does get forward, lofting a cross to the back post. Keane heads it away but only as far as Ozil on the edge, who drags his shot horribly wide, before berating himself in what looks like sweary German. Ramsey also went for the knock-down and there’s a good chance his presence put Ozil off a bit.
15 min: Iwobi goes close from the corner! The ball pinballs around the six-yard box, with Koscielny laying the ball back to Iwobi on the edge. The Nigerian’s shot is weak, and blocked by Mee, the ball trickling wide. I find that Iwobi is not a clean striker of the ball, his shooting is often dreadful, especially when he’s not using his instep.
