    It couldn't have started much worse. Henri Saivet finally gets a match and gifts a bad backpass to Arnautovic, who pushed it well against the scrambling defense and scored just 6 minutes in. Saivet was fortunate enough to make amends 5 minutes later on a free kick. It was beautifully placed inside the left post on the bounce, although the announcers were convinced the keeper should be covering it from that far out.

    In the second half, Atsu made us look potent by assisting a goal for Diame of all people and later scoring himself. Elliot helped the lead hold up by blocking a penalty shot - deservedly as the foul was outside the area. It feels like our luck hasn't changed as besides the bad call we hit the post twice. Outside of the relegation zone for Christmas. I hope you all had a good Christmas as a result ;-)
