Riding high at the top of the table, the hosts seized the initiative as Dybala pounced on an early opportunity. But the Ducks were undeterred and were buoyed when Andrew ‘ice’ Robertson saw red for a dangerous tackle, with a goalmouth scramble almost immediately afterwards ending in Christensen turning into his own net. Though still lacking in quality up front, Le Roy’s side showed their pluck here, even if they were unable to break the Pigs’ unbeaten record.
