Verstappen, partially unsighted in the wet conditions, briefly passed the Australian, and then complained over the radio that he had suddenly braked.

But Bowen leveled again in the 55th with a shot that went through the legs of a defender and past an unsighted Mendy and into the far corner.

Obviously, with unstable ground and people on the surface unsighted, there was an inherent risk.

The keeper, partly unsighted, saved one-handed to his right but was able to look on shortly afterwards when a well-placed Stuart Dallas shot across goal.

The goal itself was a piece of art: Antonio using the heft of Rúben Dias to winch his body into position, uncoiling a textbook bicycle kick past Ederson, who was unsighted.
