Irons ratings v Liverpool 2

|

Hughie – a bit late – but hands out his points

Fabianski: One outstanding save and otherwise as safe as it gets despite two seriously good goals 7

Johnson: Didn’t notice Ben greatly which is a compliment – did his job again. Top lad 7

Oggy: Off earlyish – no rating

Zouma: Very high quality and ghosted round the back for fine goal 8+

Cresswell: Not the best first half but grew into it well 7

Rice: Fair bit of sideways and backwards at times but did little wrong apart from a foul just outside the box 7

Soucek: Now doing the sitting role more and more and did it well 7

Fornals: Man of the match with Bowen. Some great delivery and non stop action 9

Benrahma: Not everything came off but he really is tricky to play against 7

Bowen: Outstanding contribution at all levels 9

Antonio: Poor first half but much better in second with some really penetrating runs 7

Sub:

Dawson: Top class  8

The crowd and atmosphere 11
