Hughie hands out his marks
Areola: No chance with a poorly defended goal but two or three good saves and a safe pair of hands 7
Fredericks: Got dragged all over the pitch early, might have done better for the goal and never felt you could fully trust him 5
Dawson: Some magnificent defending particularly at the end – excellent performance on a really difficult night 8
Zouma: Didn’t put a foot wrong and keeps everything so simple 8
Cresswell: Criminally sent off for a nothing foul but fairly anonymous before that 5
Rice: Better second half than first – not at the usual high level 7
Soucek: Defended well but when down to 10 was forced to sit rather than attack 6
Fornals: Excellent game – barely wasted a pass, set up the goal and was always a threat 9
Benrahma: Continues to frustrate – saw a lot of the ball wide on the left but rarely got past the defenders 5
Bowen: Had a lot to do to finish off the goal and always working his socks off, Well done mate 8
Antonio: Worked so hard, held the ball up brilliantly and some great knock on to create chances but needs someone alongside 8
Sub:
Johnson: On at half time for Benrahma – let nobody down 6
