Brilliant run from Maitland-Niles who cuts inside and tries to dink his shot over Strebinger, but he gets it wrong and watches it float well wide.

Cedric finds Nelson in the box, who has been brilliant so far, before he lays it off for Lacazette. The France international gets plenty of whip on his shot but his low effort spins just wide!
