Folarin and he's the difference so far between the two sides and celebrations. Into the attacking third towards the left corner of the penalty area. Must on the goal line there. Shot on goal. Saved at the far post. Another corner. Just outside the penalty area. Just to the right of center. Shot comes in. Save. Good diving save by the keeper towards the near post. It's corner near side to Chelsea. Cross comes in from the kick in. Edge of the penalty AREA. IT'S A GOAL! IT'S A GOAL TO CAMBRIDGE. AND I JUST talked about that one opportunity that could be created.

PLAYERS HAVE GOT ALL IN EACH OTHER'S WAY, but it is a goal to Cambridge. It's a hat-trick for Yates.

the far side. Left of center laid towards the edge of the penalty area. Players getting in each other's way. IT'S A WIDE of the near post. I think the keeper's got a hand on it as well. Near side.
