How we rated the Irons against Watford

Hughie hands out his marks

Fabianski: One fine save with feet and a great catch near the end with plenty of decent stuff in between shows his day is far from done 7

Coufal: Defended well, got forward at every opportunity – coming back to his best 7

Dawson: On the case all evening and always dangerous from corners 7

Zouma: Booed all night but was entirely composed throughout, kept it very simple and impressed 7+

Cresswell: Looking fitter after his long lay off and was more dangerous than previously down the left 6+

Rice: Not quite his usual self at times – a couple of dispossessions but it’s hard to criticise because he has set the bar so high 7

Soucek: Very solid in front of the back four and saw one header go narrowly over from a corner at the other end 7

Benrahma: Sorry but let’s be honest he is not yet a PL player. Lots of misplaced passes, hit a post but never gives the impression he’s REALLY going to turn it on for 90 minutes.5

Bowen: Outstanding second half with a goal, another turned onto the post and lots of exciting wing play. England must come calling 8+

Fornals: Neat and tidy with some good passing but no major impact 6

Antonio: Worked hard but didn’t see too many scoring opportunities. Needs to improve that first touch 5

Sub:

Lanzini Much better than Benrahma whom he replaced – quick and to feet passing and went past men 7
