Nilwall bailed out their beleaguered boss here with a very confident performance that has been long overdue. Their goals rose in quality from a scramble (Militao at a corner), to the sublime (Dele), to a screamer (Isco’s thunderbastard). The Dawgs had Chiellini deservedly sent off in the first half and completely folded as a result. They really don’t like Mondays.
