Danny Welbeck you absolute Dancer!

Thought the evening was shaping for disappointment in that second half and that's a great win. Bart kept us in it. Welbz won it.

Webster looked quality.

I'm feeling optimistic about this one.

After the Forest game I retired my long-serving and clearly no longer lucky t-shirt. (To be honest, I'd had my doubts about its powers to bestow good fortune since Rome last year. Sorry, I should have acted sooner.) Since then we've scored nine goals and our opponents have scored none.

Others have ascribed this improvement to FH's changed tactics, better midfield options being available, Mitoma and Minteh regaining their missing mojo, or just Chelsea and Southampton being rubbish. But to me it seems that a much more important factor is my substitute lucky t-shirt staking its claim to be the first item of clothing on the team sheet.

Tonight will be a sterner test for the new lucky t-shirt, but I have faith in it.
Told you. Don't trust the process, trust the shirt.

Very scrappy game which really could’ve gone either way. I think in fact they edged it, given how much stronger their second half was to our first half. I think we were rather fortunate to get all three points, but when you’re on a good run you get these little moments.

They’re a good side and you can see why they are where they are in the league. Justin Kluivert is some player, couple of brilliant dribbles and his goal was sublime.

You can see they are bare bones at centre back, and it was James Hill who was out of position for Welbeck’s excellently taken winning goal. Brilliant assist from Georginio who always looks like the one to make something happen.

My MOTM was Adam Webster who I thought was superb tonight and has barely put a foot wrong since his return to the side. At this stage I’d be picking him over Dunk presently, the first time I’ve felt that way.

Couple of superb saves from Verbruggen, one in particular from Dango (unchained) at 1-1 which completely changed the outcome. Looks very, very dodgy on crosses but his shot stopping is generally excellent.

Referee decent on the whole. I’m glad he gave the penalty in real time, because I don’t think we’d have had that given by VAR, but there wasn’t enough to overturn it either. Was tearing what’s left of my hair out with the extra stoppage time after Bart’s knock.

Very hard fought win against a good side, and for all the games we’ve deserved to win and thrown away earlier in the season, this is one we can consider ourselves rather fortunate to cling on to.

Both games against Bournemouth we've had a slice of luck to win. Also see Newcastle away, and probably a few others I can't think of right now.
Always balances out over the season.
