Hughie hands out his marks
Fabianski: Very little to do all evening from a toothless Bournemouth 6
Johnson: One of Ben’s better games -good passer of the ball tonight and defended well 7
Kehrer: Lots to like – rarely troubled 7
Cresswell: Always on the case offensively and did nothing wrong at the back 7
Rice: Always in control of and once again looking our most reliable player 8
Soucek: Looked good again for most of the 90 minutes as he attacked more than usual 7
Downes: Didn’t look the least out of place on PL home debut 7
Benrahma: Always threatening and the most creative player on the field 8+
Bowen: Some fine runs and always ready to receive the out ball when under pressure 7
Scamacca: Received plenty of ball to feet but too often lost control and was bustled out of it 5
Subs:
Antonio: On for Scamacca and didn’t see enough of things to make an impact 4
Fornals: No rating
Coufal: No rating
