Hugh hands out his marks
Fabianski: Couple of decent saves but rarely bothered 6
Fredericks: One of his better performances setting up an Antonio goal and always trying to make it happen 7
Diop: Not a great deal to worry him but always on top of his game 7
Ogbonna: Ditto above 7
Cresswell: Right back to his best – some great work down the wing and always on top defensively 7+
Rice: Played second fiddle to the highly effective Soueck but the usual seven plus 7+
Noble: Started slowly but massively important assists and some top passing 7+
Soucek: Totally different to any player we’ve had in our midfield – great defensive work and fabulous talent for popping up in the box 8+
Fornals: Not the most skilful but runs his heart out for the cause 6+
Bowen: Always in the thick of the attacking options and always offers an out ball opportunity 8
Antonio: Top performance of the season at it’s most important moment – just magical 10+
