They could even go to the locker room with a goal against, after an error of Alisson that did not take advantage Deeney.
But finally Sarr took a pass Abdoulaye Doucour, his former partner in Rennes, to make the 1-0. Then he got a doctor when he passed the Dutch race Virgil van Dijk and chop the ball before Alisson.
