Pape Matar Sarr 7/10
Played a well-weighted pass-through for Kulusevski to score the opener but wasn’t as incisive when Son was running through in the second half. Booked for his coming together with Colwill.

Eric Dier 6/10
SUBS:(Johnson, 34’) Came on for his first minutes of the season following Romero’s red card and made an outstanding intervention to cut out Sterling’s ball for Jackson.

Cole Palmer 9/10

Very busy throughout and embraced the chaos in the first half, although he was unlucky that Disasi didn’t reach his headed knockdown. Did well to put Jackson’s second goal on a plate for the striker.

Caught agonisingly offside for Caicedo’s disallowed goal, saw some attempts saved by Vicario and got booked for pulling back Sarr.
