Yohan Cabaye's smart shot from 20 yards required Darren Randolph – back in the side after Adrian conceded five against Manchester City – to make the game's first save; Noble's foul brought a free-kick by Andros Townsend that was jabbed wide across goal by James Tomkins; and from another Townsend cross, Jason Puncheon at the far post could not quite turn the ball in.
