Sky Highlights:
0.34/5 Billy with runner (albeit circa 4 feet behind again), Cooper facing their player on the right and Bryan moving to double-up with Cooper.
0.36 Billy stops, runner continues, wide player plays the ball behind Cooper.
0.37 The player, Billy has lost, receives ball near byline, squares, one down
. Billy isolated.
0:50 View from the away end, Billy starts off 4 feet behind runner, when player crosses Billy circa 6 yards from him!
First rule of defending get goal side of opponents and go with runners!
Space and balls don’t score goals, so watch the latter not the former
If Bryan had been marking the wide player, I don’t think it would have stopped the ball being played towards the byline. Would Cooper had intercepted? Doubtful because he would have been in the centre. It’s possible Cooper would have cleared the cross but I genuinely don’t believe he would have stopped the runner laying the ball back
