MASSIVE MOMENT!

It would be fair to say that Perry Groves isn't too impressed by the red card dished out to Myles Lewis-Skelly.
The Arsenal left-back has been sent off controversially for what Michael Oliver deemed to be violent conduct.
The left-back caught Matt Doherty on the back of the leg and was dismissed.
However, Groves is furious.
Speaking on talkSPORT the former Gunner said: "That's one of the most ridiculous red cards I've ever seen.
"It's a trip.
It's a trip."

Arsenal and Liverpool are in action today, but the match that has the most potential is surely at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest in a mouthwatering encounter between two of the best teams in the Premier League this season.
The Cherries are unbeaten in ten top-flight matches and just thrashed Newcastle United 4-1, who had won nine in a row.
Forest are well in the title race after a stellar campaign from Nuno Espirito Santo's men.
They have only dropped points twice in their last eight games, so it is all set up for an absolute classic.

Cole Palmer returns to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Chelsea travel to Manchester City.
The England international has been a standout player in the Premier League since joining the Blues from City in what now looks like a cut-price £40million fee in 2023.
Ahead of the match, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said Palmer's importance is his equivalent to Liverpool star Mohamed Salah or Arsenal talisman Martin Odegaard.
"He is improving a lot but not just in terms of numbers of goals and assists," said Maresca.

Premier League fans will again have to adjust to a new viewing schedule with no early Saturday kick-off this weekend.
Top-flight clubs have now completed the busy winter schedule but more fixtures than ever are being shifted around for TV rights.
TNT Sports occupies the rights to screen top-flight matches in the 12:30pm slot with Package A.
That deal grants them access to air 52 Premier League games a season, which are divided by Saturday lunchtime and two rounds of midweek fixtures.
If the match that TNT choose are unavailable to play at 12:30pm then the slot is left blank and it is rescheduled for a later time.
The Premier League's secondary broadcaster has chosen Manchester United's trip to Fulham as their pick for Gameweek 23.
The Red Devils beat Scottish giants Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, and therefore can't be involved in a Saturday fixture, which has forced TNT to alter their usual schedule.
It was originally proposed that Ruben Amorim's men could then face Fulham during the 12pm slot for the match on Sunday, January 26.
As reported by The Times, United asked for the kick-off time to be changed as they wanted 'more time for player recovery'.

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has officially joined AC Milan.
TalkSPORT revealed this week that Milan and Man City had struck an agreement over a loan move until the end of the season.
The deal includes an option to buy rather than an obligation.
Milan have confirmed Walker has taken the number 32 shirt with the Rossoneri - the same digits David Beckham wore at San Siro.
He has become the fourth Englishman to join the Milan squad.
The right-back joins former Chelsea trio and Three Lions teammates Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
His move to Milan sees him call time on stellar career at City, who he joined in 2017 from Tottenham in a £50million deal.
Walker has made 319 appearances for the club and won 17 trophies, which include six Premier League titles and the Champions League.

RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko has indicated that he wants to join Arsenal over Premier League rivals Chelsea and Man United, talkSPORT understands.
The north London club are keen on the Leipzig striker and it appears the feeling is mutual, with the 21-year-old preferring a move to the Gunners amidst other club interest.
talkSPORT's transfer correspondent Ben Jacobs revealed that Sesko has previously chosen a move to Arsenal over other Premier League sides.
"The good news for Arsenal is that they have a number of concrete summer targets so there is a logic of escalating the pursuit of some of them for January," he told Talking Gooners.
"It's whether they're feasible, these targets are difficult to get in the market.
"With Benjamin Sesko, some contact has been made with Leipzig to understand whether anything is possible.
"There's no release cause in his new contract and the player is very keen on his own development to make sure he doesn't rush a move.
"Even though Leipzig are out of the Champions League, they're pushing in the cup and to qualify again next season.
"It's not impossible but it's difficult and they'll want to protect the relationship with Leipzig if they're to revisit it in the summer.
"The better news for Arsenal is that last summer when the project was pitched from Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United, Sesko picked Arsenal and then made a secondary choice of whether it was now or to stay at Leipzig."

Tottenham are also interested in West Ham loan target Brian Brobbey, talkSPORT understands.
We reported earlier today that the Ajax forward is being eyed by West Ham to solve their issues in attack.
However, their London rivals Spurs have now joined the race for Brobbey as the January transfer window begins to draw to a close.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou revealed on Thursday that Dominic Solanke is set to be out for six weeks with a knee injury.
He's just one of a number of absentees at Spurs that include Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
