Quick Review

Larsson booked for an alleged dive, after rounding the goalkeeper.
Larsson was fouled by Craigan out on the left. Thompson floated in a lovely cross and a typical Larsson glancing header gave Marshall no chance, 1-0. John Hartson was then brought down in the box, again Brines gave nothing.
A fine through ball by Larsson and a brilliant first touch from Sutton who then fired the ball into the net, 2-0.
A free kick from Maloney on the left, at the corner of the box, flew into Marshall's goal off the inside of his right-hand post, again Marshall had no chance of stopping it, 3-0.
Michael Gray then fired in a right-foot shot which Marshall did well to hold.
