How we rated the Irons against Sevilla

Hughie hands out his marks

Areola: No chance with a goal which should have seen the scorer marked more closely from a corner but fine all night beyond that 7

Johnson: Very good game from the young man with some excellent defending at times 7

Dawson:  Solid self until one big error which nearly supplied a second goal 6

Zouma: The odd error here and there but generally competent performance 7

Cresswell:  Really back to his best – defended well and always looking for opportunities to get forward 7+

Rice: Not as prominent as usual but may still be suffering a bit – some good interventions and had Sevilla in a moan up confrontation when quite rightly trying to lift up an uninjured player 7

Soucek: Had the attacking midfield role handed back to him and did ok with one shot particularly well saved but still looking to catch up to last season’s levels. 6

Fornals: Started well but there was some sloppy stuff thrown in as the game progressed 5+

Lanzini: Had an amazing chance to score from close in but for a magnificent block and was always looking to create chances 7

Vlasic: Unlucky with a big chance when keeper Bono happened to be in the right place at the right time and looked much better on the ball on the right side 6+

Antonio: His best game for a little while with one shot into the side netting from a powerful run – which was one of several 7

Subs

Benrahma: Some really exciting stuff when he first arrived and was responsible for Lanzini’s big blocked chance 7

Noble: On for Lanzini to help ensure we only went back home with a 1-0 defeat. Did ok 5

Masuaku: Very late arrival No rating
