How we rated the Irons
Adrian: His sharp saves were valuable at the end. Long distribution didn’t do Valencia any favours 5
Byram: Pushed much further forward after the break. Discipline watch – committed one yellow card foul, ref played advantage and committed a second 6
Reid: Dealt with the physical challenge of the Bournemouth front men well 5
Collins: “Did well heading it out of defence” my son says 5
Masuaku: Not a Cresswell-type but effective 5
Nordtveidt: If I don’t notice a defensive midfielder he’s had a good game, so Nordtveidt had a good game 6
Noble: Skipper was everywhere and really got forward after the break 7
Kouyate: Opposite of Noble, Cheik was everywhere before the break. Nice interchanges of passing down the left 7
Tore: Improvement – only looked a yard off the pace today but a peach of a cross 6
Antonio: Arrived late at the far post, late in the game and won it 7
Valencia: Knocking two points off for the way he ambled off when subbed 4 Subs
Calleri: “and Calleri must score…!” Shame he didn’t with the last kick 5
Fletcher: His run into the box, pointing to where he wanted the cross just before the winner shows real striker’s instinct 5
Obiang: His introduction ran down the clock perfectly
