It was dreadful defending for the goal. Edwards caught out of position, Gibbs too far away from the crosser and Ajayi fell over when backtracking which left space for the scorer as Bartley couldn’t get across because he was watching the other forward.
I think Johnstone’s positioning for the goal wasn’t that far off really. He was on his toes and was slightly towards the back post which is normal positioning for goalkeepers at crosses. The only criticism could be his lack of dive at the header but as the header happened, his feet were planted on the floor. Up to that point he was on his toes.
