Les Canards seemed buoyed by the return of Lewandowski to the first team and they took the lead early on, Muniain bagging his eighth goal of the season. Halfman, as they often do, looked determined to deliver the goods but couldn’t do more than equalise through Martinez. If this league were ranked on class, Rodgers’s men would surely be right up there, but their inability to close out games is frankly maddening.
