89’ That could have been the hat-trick
Stewart was going through on goal there before tangling legs with Grimmer.
It looked like the referee could give a penalty but nothing was given.
83’ GOAL!!!!! STEWART!!
What game he’s had.
Stewart scores again after an excellent run from Dan Neil before releasing the forward inside the penalty area.
Stewart then beat the goalkeeper at his near post with a cool finish.
Game over.
82’ Akinfenwa shot saved
That would have been some goal.
The forward controlled the ball on the edge of the box before his shot from the edge of the area was caught by Patterson.
