Steele 5.5 -- extra point for the assist which was something else (as was the celebration). I'm convinced Sanchez or Raya would have saved at least one of the three. Their xG was about 1.5
Veltman 5.5 -- wise as ever, but not great today
Dunk 5 -- poor for the second, should have got his header on target, and not one of his best
Colwill 5 -- should have got his header on target, and not one of his best
Estupinan 5 -- gave the ball away too much and, unusually, shocking crosses today
Caicedo 8 -- dynamo
Gross 6 -- not his best today
March 8 -- so strong, another assist, great engine, adapted well to LB role, would have scored him higher, but he had so many chances and shots on targets but most of them could have been better
Ali Mac 8 MotM (just) -- drew one excellent save from Raya, such quick feet which saw him escape from them in tight situations high up the pitch, dictated play from deeper (he's better in that role), and so calm for the penalty -- no-one was stopping that
Mitoma 7 -- so calm with the finish, perhaps could have done better with the early one. Thought he was kept quite quiet by Hickey
Welbeck 7.5 -- was immense in the first half, some nice touches in the second, but became less effective
Subs:
Enciso 8 -- loved his performance
Buonanotte, Undav n/a
Bold substitutions from RdZ. Raya was brilliant. We deserved to win this one. Poor defending.
