## Resource

Well, who cares if we were falling asleep halfway through the second half and we struggled to break Sporting down, WHAT a result that was! Luke and Jim jump on after a classy Kai Havertz goal capped off what was a cagey but controlled performance. We recap another imperious David Raya showing, an impressive return from Martin Ødegaard and some tentative moments from a few others - but shake off those nerves, because we got the win!
