The visitors had the chance to take the lead in the first-half when VAR awarded them a spot kick with Calvin Bassey judged to have thrown Mason Mount to the ground as they jostled on a corner kick.

Fernandes was seen complaining to the match official before taking the penalty, insisting post-match the moment threw him off with Kavanagh not offering an apology.
‘Yeah I was upset,’ Fernandes told Sky Sports. ‘As every penalty does, you have your own routines, your own things that you do. It upset me because the referee did not apologise and that is what triggered me in that moment.
