Murphy had looked as if he was trying almost too hard to atone for that earlier error. The right-sided winger needed to relax and, once he did, redemption arrived as Alexander Isak’s clever, unselfish, backheel, played in Hall and the fallout from his cross eventually fell to Murphy to bundle past Sels with his chest.
