West Stand applauds as the players and Farke walk round. The Kop has a mix of applause and boos. Some chant 'you don't know what you're doing.'

84 - That could have been it. Malen one v one with Struijk, gets enough space to shoot and sends it over the top.

Villa protesting. James got in on the right onto a channel ball, raced into the area and beat Martinez.

Referee Rob Jones talks to his linesman and now we'll wait for VAR.

2-2 as it stands.
