Adrian: Not really called on and a comfortable game for the keeper who when he did have to get active was on top of the job 5
Jenkinson: No complaints. The lad is becoming a growing presence and defended well whilst getting forward at every opportunity 6
Collins: Rock solid and a defender playing to the top of his form. Impressive 7
Tomkins: After the nonsense of last weekend James showed us what he is all about – solid and dependable and a defender who can play more than a bit 6
Cresswell: Top player. Ball fell for him a tad fortuitously for the goal but he took it well. Defensively as sound as a pound. What a buy 7
Downing: Good to see him back in action and played some neat stuff at times but blew a great chance when different options were on 6
Noble: Showed no signs of the knock from last week that had put him in doubt. Wholehearted as ever but overplayed on a couple of occasions 6
Kouyate: Loads of energy and had a hand in the goal but probably still coming back to best 6
Jarvis: Bags of energy and no little skill’ Looked our most threatening outlet at times. Good return 6
Amalfitano: Patchy performance. Lot of ball given away and an odd choice to support Carroll 5
Carroll: Still not 100 per cent fit. Lacked a burst of speed when needed in box but an unsettling presence for all that 5
Subs: Zarate. Terrific performance. Hard to understand how he is nailed to the bench for so long. He must get more game time 8
Nolan: Nothing to say but he gets his appearance bonus I guess 4
