Notes

- Liddell's goal was first contributed to Twentyman. It wasn't until after the game that the reporters talked to the players and found out the goal had been given to Liddell. Twentyman stuck a foot out after the corner but apparently didn't manage to touch the ball as it went over the line from Liddell's shot.
