8 – Keeps hold of the ball well and releases it out wide to Zabaleta
10 – Beaten to the ball from a clearance.
10 – Plays a neat backheel pass to Masuaku but he loses the ball
12 – Has his shirt pulled persistently and should have won a foul
14 – One – two with Lanzini fails as Lanzini’s pass is poor
17 – He flicks the ball and spins around the defender when he recieves a pass from Masuaku but is slide tackled when chasing the ball

24 – GOAL – Puts pressure on the opposition defender to allow Noble to take the ball and score. 0-1
28 – Fails to hold up the ball as his touch is poor
30 – Wins the ball from a failed clearance by a Huddersfield player but the ball bounces away
32 – Makes a good interception and plays the ball out wide to Zabaleta
35 – Backheel is blocked and it goes for a Huddersfield throw in
42 – See minute 14
44 – Boots the ball away from a corner
45+1 – Makes a great run in the box between the defenders but Lanzini’s through ball is not good enough
45 – GOAL – As the ball comes from Kouyaté Arnautovic flicks it over Smith’s head and smacks the ball with his left foot into the bottom corner. 1-2

47 – Plays a good one-two with Kouyaté but the subsequent cross to Lanzini is poor

53 – Caught offside when a through ball comes to him on the left hand side

54 – Intercepts the ball really well and breaks on the counter with Lanzini but Lanzini’s shot is tame and easily saved by the keeper

55 – GOAL – Does a double step over onto to left foot, drops his shoulder sending the Huddersfield defenders and plays a sublime through ball with his left foot into Lanzini’s feet who finishes the ball into the bottom right corner. 1-3

61 – GOAL – Latches onto a Kouyaté pass on the half way line on the right side and breaks on the counter running all the way into the box dropping two Huddersfield players in the process before laying the ball off to Lanzini who smacks the ball in the roof of the net. 1-4

65 – Plays a great ball out wide to Kouyaté

66 – Fails to control the ball from a thrown in and the ball goes out for a Huddersfield goal kick

77 – Slips a neat ball into Lanzini in the midfield

77 – Controls a bouncing ball well and plays it back to Masuaku

81 – Holds the ball up well on the left hand side but his through ball to Lanzini is poor

81 – He is substituted for André Ayew and receives a great reception from the travelling fans.

Verdict – 10 – The fact that he was a key figure in all 4 goals says everything. He was an absolute animal today and without him we wouldn’t have won. He worked incredibly hard today chasing down the Huddersfield back four as well as terrorising them throughout the whole match. He linked up really well with Lanzini too.
