Hughie hands out his marks
Fabianski: Two or three remarkable saves but had no chance with winner after another great stop. Getting rid of the ball much quicker than usual 7
Coufal: Very heavy touch at times spoiled some forward movement – the lad’s looking tired but better second half 6
Zouma: Almost scored with fine header from corner – very stretched at times by Toney and Co 6+
Ogbonna: Similar game to Zouma 6+
Cresswell: Did well in the second half, getting forward well and some very decent crosses 7
Rice: Looked leggy with cramp at the end telling it’s own tale. Struggled with the Bees employing an extra midfielder 7
Soucek: Efficient is the best word but there’s still not last season’s attacking threat 6
Bowen: Great goal, worked his socks off but could have had a second with an off target header 7+
Benrahma: Wasn’t really in the game too often which was a shame as he looked the one who could have created more chances 6
Fornals: Lots of neat passing and plenty of energy 6+
Antonio: Always a real threat turning away and inside defenders – if only he or Tomas could have got a touch on a great Cresswell cross it would have ben a different story 7+
