Player Ratings

Darren Randolph
Barely tested but his walkabout in the first half could have proved costly.


Sam Byram
Improving ?EUR" a run in the position helps but he has a way to go yet.


Aaron Cresswell
Good cross for the goal but continues to give the ball away far too much.


James Collins
At one point in the game he had a ten yard start on his man and still lost the race. . Lovely bloke and all that but you can see why he doesn?EUR(TM)t get picked unless there are injuries.


Jose Fonte
Not having a regular partner doesn?EUR(TM)t help but neither does stupid challenges made after 80 seconds.


Cheikhou Kouyate
Failed to track runs from the deep too often.


Andre Ayew



Robert Snodgrass
Poor. Should have scored.


Andy Carroll
Best defender. Best attacker. Like Lanzini he can hold his head high.


Manuel Lanzini
If we were going to do anything it was likely to come through him and Carroll. Probably the classiest player on the pitch in a match bereft of much in the way of class.


Sofiane Feghouli
Blind alleys seem to be a speciality.



Substitutes

Edimilson Fernandes
(Replaced Snodgrass) Made about as much impression as Snodgrass who he replaced.


Arthur Masuaku
(Replaced Cresswell) Largely responsible for the winner because he was mouthing off at everyone else rather than concentrating on his own job.


Jonathan Calleri
(Replaced Kouyate) Although I?EUR(TM)m not sure there would have been much point in bringing him on any earlier, the game had gone by the time he did arrive.


Adrian San Miguel Del Castillo
Did not play.


Havard Nordtveit
Did not play.


Mark Noble
Did not play.


Ashley Fletcher
Did not play.
