Match Report
Eder Militao went off early in the second half with what looks like a serious injury and we'll have an update on that as soon as we know more.
Athletic had a chance late on through Aitor Paredes but were unable to get past Andriy Lunin, who played between the sticks after Thibaut Courtois was ruled out for the season.
