From TV pictures, interested to see those from fans in the ground:
Sanchez - 3 - pretty much nothing to do all game, but the one big thing he had to do he severely failed at doing
Veltman - 7 - brilliant in the first half with the overlapping runs all the time down the right. When he went central he looked a bit suspect
Dunk - 6 - not at his strong defensive best, outmuscled a few times by their big striker
Webster - 7 - I would have rated him higher but his foul is the one which gave them that free-kick. Couple of brilliant blocks in the first half. Didn’t really understand the decision to withdraw him unless he’s not 100% fit for 90 mins yet
Estupinan - 8 - outstanding as always, brilliant delivery in to the box. Stopped Olise from doing anything all game
Caicedo - 5 - not the best today, so many mislaid passes and looked a bit out of his depth playing in the formation with just one holding midfielder
Groß - 6 - played deeper today, some good key passes here and there
March - 8 - typical March performance of late, outstanding at times, and then kicking the ball straight out of play from a corner. Brilliant awareness for his goal
MacAllister - 8 - literally ran the show today in a role much further forward. Should have scored in the first-half but passed it straight to their 'keeper. Should have scored the header from the late corner. Be interesting to see if he stays in the CAM role now
Mitoma - 4 - should have been brought off. Completely marked out the game by Clyne, nothing came off for him today. Should have scored first half
Undav - 5 - when he was playing it was like not having a striker or number 9 on the pitch, but a couple of key passes and through balls to set up potential chances
Ferguson - N/A - can’t give a rating because I think he only touched the ball about 6 times in half an hour
Lamptey - 6 - good runs down the right side, good wing play with March but unfortunately he can’t hit a cross to head height
Sanchez - 3 - pretty much nothing to do all game, but the one big thing he had to do he severely failed at doing
