Player Ratings

Jussi Jaaskaleinen
A couple of easy-ish saves but was a bit low off his line for Anelka's first.


Joey O Brien
Not a central defender ?EUR" and it showed.


Razvan Rat
Steady enough but the problems in defence seemed to restrict his forward ambitions.


George McCartney
Probably the pick of the defenders ?EUR" remarkably so given his position.


James Tomkins
Not his day.


Mark Noble
Varied between bossing the game and getting caught in posession.


Mo Diame
Not one of his better days I'm afraid.


Kevin Nolan
My MOTM. One goal, two assists and chased a lot of lost causes. Did a hell of a lot of the sort of work that goes unnoticed.


Matt Jarvis
Got into some good positions early on but faded.


Joe Cole
Took his goal well but didn't impose himself on the game until finally replaced by Collison.


Carlton Cole
The only impression on the game he left was on Olsson's thigh.



Substitutes

Guy Demel
Never quite seems to be in control of things. Gave Berahino far too much room for their third.


Modibo Maiga
Won a lot in the air and deserved his goal ?EUR" even if he had a bit of luck.


Jack Collison
Didn't really add anything to proceedings.


Adrian
Did not play.


Leo Chambers
Did not play.


Alou Diarra
Did not play.


Matthew Taylor
Did not play.
