Hughie hands out his marks
Fabianski: Excellent afternoon included several fine save which tells us more than we need to know 8
Coufal: Coming back to the player we knew – good front and back 7
Cresswell: No complaints – similar comments as those awarded to Coufal 7
Rice: Fortunate to not get booked early, yellow carded later and missed a pen Cress or Benny would have been better off taking, Certainly not his best game for us by any means 5
Soucek: On the end of two or three goal opportunities but just not his day – looked better in a more attacking role 6
Benrahma: Best player on the pitch in claret and blue. Always providing a left wing threat and unlucky not to score – seeing one shot well saved, another hitting the woodwork and one ruled out after a foul earlier by Antonio 9.
Fornals: Anonymous early, grew into it with one two decent passes before hitting the woodwork 5
Bowen: Just an average game. Plenty of hard running but little impact 5
Antonio: Silly foul which saw Benny’s goal ruled out and off the pace most of the time 4
Subs
Scamacca: Arrived late and saw little of the ball
Cornet : Ditto above
