Adrian: Excellent performance. No chance with pen but fine Wickham save near end and looked safe as houses 7
Jenkinson: Maintained his high standards defensively and going forward 7
Tomkins: Unlucky for the penalty that really never was but not at his most commanding 6
Reid: Big reputation but consistently middling performances and lucky to get away with a penalty shout 6
Cresswell: Another seven performance. Hard player to fault and currently looking one of smartest buys of summer 7
Kouyate: No complaints with work rate but still waiting for him to catch that early season form 6
Song: The guvnor. Time and space to spare and brings composure whenever the team is under pressure 8
Nolan: Worked hard to get forward and support his mate whilst doing a decent job in the middle 6
Downing: Grabbed the goal, provided plenty of well places passes and crosses and popped up in dangerous positions 8
Carroll: All action performance and quickly coming back to his very best 7
Sakho: Not right at the top of his game but his work rate and non stop effort is a joy 6
