Notes:
- Two goals conceded in the first twenty minutes, Friedrich got injured and from that point on we looked out of sorts at the back.
- Leave it to James Tomkins to get home a header from a corner to try and pull us back.

Injuries
Dimitris Anakoglou suffered a torn calf muscle, ending the player's season. He will be out 3-4 months. The Greek midfielder finished the season with 36 appearances, 2 goals and 16 assists in all competitions.

Arne Friedrich suffered a broken jaw and will miss the rest of the season. His contract is up on 30th June and he will most likely not be retained.
