Marc Guehi – 7

Adam Wharton – 7

Solid on the left-hand side, he made some strong challenges, especially to Dejan Kulusevski.

The England midfielder provided the assist for Mateta’s goal with a fantastic flick. Nearly got a goal in the second half, but VAR ruled it out for offside. Produced a silky bit of skill to draw a foul. He was sensational in the second half. Man of the match.

The Frenchman started ahead of Eddie Nketiah and showed great composure inside the box. He scored with his left foot and took a deflection on the way.
