Here's a recap

To bring you up to speed with what’s happened.

The first goal was a header from Sean McGinty after a third corner in quick succession. It looked like Worsnop had kept it out with an excellent stop but the ball dropped in at the post.

The second came almost immediately from the restart as a cross from the left round Alfie Pavey who slammed into the net from close range.

Double change

Blues respond to the events of the last five minutes with John Rooney and Tom Shaw replaces Steven Hewitt and Ryan Lloyd.
