That was something else, particularly second half, The Amex was absolutely rocking
Verbruggen 8 -- some cracking saves first half, great on the ball
Veltman 7 -- solid as ever
JPVH 9 -- enjoyed his scrap with the beast, and was immense
Igor 9.5 -- utterly brilliant today, and has been near these levels for a fair few games
Estupinan 8 -- very good
Ayari 5 -- probably his poorest performance this season, in which he's been a revelation
Hinshelwood 8 -- what a player, his appreciation of space and game management are something else for his age, Fabian loves him, fingers crossed he will be in the squad against Bournemouth
Adingra 5 -- unable to make an impact
Rutter 6 -- a little bit overwhelmed today but, even when that's the case, his work rate, velcro hold-up play and persistence shine through
Mitoma 7 -- so graceful, great for the first, made Walker look as though he's no longer so dominant
Welbeck 7 -- so intelligent, led the line well
Baleba 10 MotM -- turned the game, utterly bossed it. Even if Rodri was in his pomp, Carlos would have still dominated it
Joao Pedro 9 -- can't argue with a goal and an assist
O'Riley 8 -- delighted for our new dynamo, the ghosting into the box, that first touch and then the finish
Gruda 6 -- not much came off for him
Moder n/a
FH 10 -- brilliant game plan. Kept them largely at bay in the first half, and then went for them second when their energy levels were low. One thing he could have done better in previous matches is to make earlier substitutions, and he did that in spades today. We had the momentum after the break and each change he made just cranked things up a further notch.
