at a set-piece, at a corner, the rest of the players clear the way for the designated target man.
And it didn't look to me as though he was.
I think if anybody was, it would have been Matthews.
He had a little bit of space around him, enough to make the jump and to steer the ball into the perfect spot, into the corner, down, level with where the goalkeeper's feet were.
The goalkeeper can't get down that quickly.
But in some ways, the equaliser was even more perfect because it meant an assist for Murphy and that will do him the world of good because he's just sort of faded a little bit in the last few games, it seems to me.
Whether it's a confidence thing or whether the opposition have started to suss him out, they certainly give him a lot of space now.
He has the ball, but they stand off him.
And he hasn't quite worked out what to do about that.
He was worried about taking on his full-back, even when his full-back had a yellow card and had to be careful.
And still Josh Murphy wasn't working that one where he takes the ball up to the guy and then pushes it past him, gets to the push first and gets that curling cross in.
Well, he didn't have to because he got his cross in the way he did.
And there was Lange to absolutely crash the ball into the roof of the net.
It was a tap-in, but that doesn't do for Lange.
Lange wants to burst the net, doesn't he?
