Multimedia Elements (Videos/audios/photo galleries)
In the story, two photos are not attractive enough. In my opinion, I think the journalist can add more photos such as the photos of players making the mistakes or the photos of Arsenal striker Parris also had a late penalty appeal rejected when she went down in the box in stoppage time. Besides, the journalist can do a live reporting or make it as a video to show the actual situation in order to give a better scene and experience to the readers. The match stats result box is good to put in the story because it allows the readers to easily see the result and easily to get information through the use of the table box. The journalist is recommended to put the audio interview from the manager or the players, to explain the real scene they met or their conditions when they were in the match in order to let the readers know more about the situation they met in the match.
