A new manager, a new team, virtually untried teenagers on the bench after several injuries and players being forced out of position – notably the outstanding James Tomkins who had an astounding game at right back.
Darren Randolph looked as safe as houses, both Winston Reid and Angelo Ogbonna were superb and Aaron Cresswell was right back to his best.
Mark Noble had perhaps his best ever game for us until being so wronglyu sent off, Pedro Obiang was seriously competitive, Cheik Kouyate was an all action hero, Dimitri Payet is a total star and Diafra Sakho was excellent.
No praise is high enough for manager Slaven Bilic!
