Demien created the clear chance he still needed in the sixty-eighth minute, Stones finding Phillips, Phillips sending it to Demien between Baccus and Irvine.
He received with Baccus on his back, cushioned one touch into Maddison, and ran beyond Baccus before Irvine could close him.
Maddison returned it.
Watkins started centrally then bent behind Burgess, and Demien shaped toward Rashford before using the outside of his boot to send Watkins through instead.
「LEGENDARY SKILL ACTIVATED」 「Luka Modrić — Outside-of-Boot Laser」
Watkins reached the box and shot low.
Ryan blocked it with his right leg.
「MATCH MISSION PROGRESS」 「Clear Chances Created: 3/3」
Demien grabbed the back of his head.
Watkins turned and mouthed he saved another one across the pitch.
Demien answered with a frustrated laugh rather than any complaint about the striker — the match had turned properly enjoyable now, pressure and all.
