   • 2015年5月25日, Daniel Taylor, “Norwich reach Premier League after early blitz sees off Middlesbrough”, 出自 The Guardian (London)‎^[1]:

     Ayala’s mix-up with Dean Whitehead left Cameron Jerome advancing from the flank, probably expecting at least one opponent would come across to block off the shot. It never happened. The next defender, Ben Gibson, hung back, mistakenly thinking Jerome would look for a team-mate, and the goalkeeper, Dimitrios Konstantopoulos, also seemed to be caught in two minds.
