          ...  He hits the ball upfield 
          ...  A_Lacazette latches onto the end of it 
          ...  A_Lacazette belts the ball towards goal! 
          ...  It swerves a lot in the air 
          ...  He couldn't have hit that shot much better!! 
          ...  But it sails past the post!! 
          ...  A_Valles never had a chance!
