Review:
A win and a gola (on his return) for Ryan Yates. Sure he was offside, but we'd already had 6 calls against us before this one, so at least we were pushing forward. Murray already had the ball in the net earlier but he was ruled offside and Lyle Taylor had a great left foot shot hit the side neeting. Hate to say it, but we're still not missing Grabban.

Stats:
Due to Coronavirus regulations, the game was played behind closed doors and the official attendance was 0.
