Hughie hands out his marks

Fabianski: Got lucky with a couple of rare efforts but generally untroubled and did well 7

Fredericks: Outstanding in the first half and did nothing wrong in the second. Great return 8

Diop: Barely put a foot wrong – poised when the opposition stepped it up 8

Zouma: Looked as though he’d been around all season – great partnership with Diop 8

Cresswell: Corner taking was a bit off in first half but a piece of magnificent defending near the end 7

Diop made a top return

Rice: Truly magnificent goal and the usual amazing defensive performance coupled with strong forward running 9

Soucek: Didn’t catch the eye like Dec but apart from one enforced error was in very good form 8+

Fornals: Saw lots of the ball in first half without making a lot happen – average second half . Maybe games are catching up 6+

Lanzini: Battled his heart out as he tried to impress boss. So unlucky with a first yellow, deserved a second for a lunge in second half and was immediately taken off to protect him 7

Vlasic: There’s a lot more to come from this lad. Always advancing when given an opportunity and went close with a fine shot at end of first half 7+

Antonio: Scared the defence half to death. They will never have seen a striker like him in their league. Quick eye for the mistake from which he took his goal and always bustling and on the move.9

Subs: 

Benrahma: Some very neat and tidy work when arriving for Lanzini 7

Bowen: Usual bustling and busy performance up front – will presumably be going through the middle in Mikey’s absence on Sunday 7

Noble, Yarmolenkop, Masuaku – late arrivals No ratings
