It's getting very fraught here now. The keeper is trying to move the free-kick and Taylor keeps kicking it back. The referee then has to restrain Taylor as things boil over in the aftermath.

Half-time.
8:34pm

8:20pm

8:14pm
City are being pegged back by Weston - half good play from the visitors, half poor distribution from the hosts.
