SAVED!!! Mac Allister slides in to knock the ball forward for Ferguson, who races after it before Leno, miles off his line, races out to swat the ball away before smothering it!

BLOCKED!!! The free-kick is played across before a ball is clipped in towards the back post. Estupinan knocks it back from the byline, and Veltman's volley towards goal is deflected behind for a corner off Ream!

It's becoming a great battle between March and Robinson down the near touchline, as the two come together again. This time Robinson illegally holds the Brighton man back as he tries to run down the line, and concedes a free-kick which will be crossed into the Fulham box.
