Tim Krul’s wind assisted, route-one clearance was flicked on by Shola Ameobi, beating a heavy Phil Jones in the air to lay on a superbly directed volley by the signing of the season, Demba Ba, who had to fight off Rio Ferdinand to win the volley – an easy feat considering the England man’s overall performance, as composed as a fish on a volcano....
