Great, composed finish from Watkins - looks like he’s getting his self-confidence back…
If you were wondering whether there was ever any justice in the world… you won’t find it in #BOLAVL. Bologna fans must be feeling sick right now.

Bologna spends a lot of time diving on the carpet #BOLAVL
So lucky to be going in 1 up. Castor and Rowe need to be shut down. We have got to be so much better second half.

Throughout that corner leading to the goal, did the Bologna players at any time stop arguing with the ref?
