Areola: No chance with the goals on what, apart from those, was a largely quiet night apart from a fine save near the end 7
Johnson: Not the best game he’ll ever play with crossing leaving much to be desire. Defensively relatively sound 5+
Dawson: Responsible for the foul which gave Saints their penalty – saw a fine header from a corner saved well – but and not a night he will want to remember in general 6
Diop: No complaints at all – played his part in a reshuffled defence 7
Rice: By his standards not the most memorable game but always blocking and breaking up 7
Soucek: Much the same sort of game as we have become used to this season. Subbed when taken a nasty one in the face 5
Lanzini: Good game – the spark behind the front two and always trying to make things happen 7+
Fornals: Did little wrong down the left side again 7
Bowen: Not a game he will remember – early chance missed and anonymous for much of the 90- minutes 5
Antonio: First goal since New Year’s Day and another improved performance over recent excursions 7
Subs:
Benrahma: Always trying to make things happen but just couldn’t truly get on the case 6
Vlasic: Not enough from him again – little input 4
