How we rated the Irons

Adrian: Saved a penalty at crucial stage and made two or three remarkable saves. Outstanding 8

Antonio: This fella just gets better and better – another day, another goal, another amazing performance 8

Oxford: Spun and turned for first goal by Lukaku but the kid’s on a huge learning curve. Made way for Carroll 6

Ogbonna: Another top performance often under a lot of pressure from their front runners 7

Cresswell: Great forward movement and always trying to make things happen 8

Obiang: Not one of his best games – lost the ball at times but nothing disastrous 6

Noble: Another ‘lead-from-the-front’ display setting up Antonio for the first with great cross. Good stuff  7

Kouyate: Typifies the spirit of this great side. Never knows when he’s beaten 7

Lanzini: In and out of the action – a mixed bag but this boy has real talent 6

Payet: A goal, an assist and always a danger – coming back to his best 8

Emenike: Works hard but should have had a goal and we await a real impact from him 6

Subs:

Song: Unlucky to give away a pen as the foul was outside. Always looking to play the simple pass 6

Carroll: Once again worked hard. Difficult to understand how Emenike is preferred as starter 6

Sakho: Still coming up to speed but a goal and lots of good movement 7
