Ratings 2: Irons v Foxes

Niall hands out his points

Fabianski: Plenty to do in the second half, great handling and one perfectly timed block avoided a goal/penalty 9
Coufal: Only apparent weakness seems to be shooting but we can work on that 8
Diop: My blood pressure would have been significantly lower had he not been offside for the 4th 7
Dawson: Another no-nonsense display. Now our most senior fit defender 8
Cresswell: A great example of only missing someone when they’re not there… fingers crossed it’s not a bad injury 8
Masuaku: All comfortable enough until Cresswell departed and Arthur had to do more defending – I could barely watch at times 6
Soucek: Showing that he’s Rice’s equal in defensive duties 8
Noble: 400th PL appearance and a pretty decent effort – hopefully the kick to his arm isn’t serious 7
Fornals: Never stopped running, closed down space and always offered an option 9
Lingard: 2 more goals, the first of which was one of the best I’ve seen 9
Bowen: Led the line brilliantly, despite being continually fouled and deserved his goal 9

Subs
Balbuena: Fair play, straight into the action and kept Vardy quiet 8
Johnson: Replaced Noble but soon ended up covering Masuaku at left-back 7
Benrahma: On again late as we made things very difficult for ourselves, none of which really his fault  5
