Emi Martinez

Deserved his second Premier League clean sheet of the season with three one-on-one saves, the best of which was from Chilwell.

Excellent 8

Matty Cash

Plenty of industry. Battled hard against Mudryk and then Chilwell after the latter came off the bench. May be disappointed with his final ball.

Busy 6

Ezri Konsa

This was much more like a performance to celebrate a new contract. Always in the right position to snuff out danger.

Sublime 8

Pau Torres

Nearly came a cropper with a dreadful pass across the back in the opening minutes but grew into it from there. A step forward.

Better 7
