In the second half, Bukayo Saka added the second goal in the 74th minute, through an individual effort, after he penetrated the penalty area before preparing the ball for himself and shooting a powerful left-footed ball into the net.

Wolverhampton almost reduced the score in the last moments of the match with a wonderful shot from Brazilian Matheus Cunha, but Spanish goalkeeper David Raya brilliantly saved the ball to keep his team's net clean.

In the same round, Brighton beat host Everton 3-0, with goals scored by Japanese Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck, and Emirati Simon Adingra in the 25th, 56th, and 87th minutes, respectively.

Everton player Ashley Young received a red card in the 66th minute of the match.

Nottingham Forest tied with its guest, Bournemouth, with a goal for each. The home team took the lead through the New Zealander Christopher Wood in the 24th minute, and the Ghanaian Antoine Semenyo equalized for the guests in the 86th minute.
