The hosts were indeed the ones who went ahead with a header from Dawson, who scored for the second consecutive time (he had handed the team the result by beating Leicester 2-2 in the final), with Newcastle still on Punkt took the lead with his place Willock scoring a goal after goal-line technology showed the ball had crossed the entire finish line before moving away from Fabianski.
