Keane plays the ball in - too far ahead of Fortune. Lee Dixon is coming on for Arsenal, and Kanu will make way
- 87'
Huge noise from the travelling fans now, morose silence from the home faithful. Wiltord and Parlour have the ball - they can't keep it by the corner flag and it's a goal-kick

...which Keane gets a head to and can only divert wide
