Quick Review

The first great chance fell to Sutton in the 10th minute, when Alan Thompson whipped in another cross, but the striker failed to hit the target with his header from close range.
Sutton made amends with his head just three minutes later from a more difficult chance. He pulled away from his marker and steered Agathe's cross past the despairing dive of Vegh and into the bottom corner from eight yards out.
It seemed only a matter of time before Larsson got his name on the scoresheet, but Vegh did well to save his powerful free-kick from just outside the box.
O'Neill could afford to take off the Swede in the 58th minute and on came Hartson for his first appearance since the victory at Rangers back in April. The Welsh international was given a hero's welcome on his return from injury by the Celtic supporters, but the he wildly sliced his first good opportunity wide of the mark.
