A game of margins. Literally 2" lower and Prodl's shot (at the very end) would have gone in for the equaliser. And two points lost.
Margins indeed - if Lallana's shot would have been half an inch lower, it wouldn't have hit the bar & gone downwards vertically near enough on the line and come out.
We were lucky though, no doubt about it. Got the 3 but played pants (disruption from Coutinho going off after getting nobbled would have been a factor, but we need to be able to cope & adapt in those situations)
Glad also to see Lucas being dealt with properly for a pathetic dive in the box.
I'm guessing that you'd not be too unhappy if the teams of Messrs Maureen & Wenger missed qualifying for the ECL.
