Wootton misses a sitter!
His free header from a couple of yards out clips the crossbar and goes over. Big let off for Town.
Big chance!
Khan drills a low cross in from the right and it somehow reaches Asante, who was not expecting it at all, at the far post. It just took him by surprise and the ball bounced off him into Slocombe’s arms.
Great counter
By Town. Weston interception, bursting run by Khan, Miller’s cross goes behind.
O’Brien replaces Arter for Notts.
66 played, 1-1.
Top defending
Whittle makes a great block to deny Kelly-Evans at the far post. That was a crucial block.
Off the post!
Miller hits the woodwork after a great interception by Maguire on halfway. It didn’t look the cleanest of strikes but it almost put Town back in front.
Town break following a good run by Khan, Miller’s deflected cross almost finds a way past Slocombe but he tips over for a corner.
Town then win another corner.
