Pope 6 - they had one shot on target and it went in, he had nowt to do otherwise.
Trippier 6 - slightly below par but still very tidy overall, penalised a bit due to the goal.
Schär 7 - had a good battle with Antonio but got to grips with him, could've done more in possession.
Botman 7 - stood up to Antonio very well, but offered even less in possession than Schär.
Burn 5 - one of those games where he stands out like a sore thumb offensively, and missed the ball on the goal.
Willock 6 - different story if that first goal stands, but didn't gel very well with Miggy and Trippier when on the right.
Longstaff 7 - easily the pick of the midfield three, cracking assist, and never shied away. 0 tackles and 0 interceptions yet again, though.
Joelinton 6 - started brilliantly but got dragged down to the levels around him, and lost the ball too often.
Almirón 6 - really busy and retained the ball well, but in terms of attacking threat he was pretty non-existent.
Wilson 7 - got his goal but should've had at least one more, though his all-round play was better than it has been for a while.
Saint-Maximin 5 - Gordon showed him up something rotten tonight offensively, but he at least put a shift in and contributed defensively.
--
Gordon 8 - quality impact, looked razor sharp and linked well with teammates given he'll have only had one full training session.
Murphy 6 - about as Murphy a cameo as could've happened, some canny and some downright bad.
Anderson 6 - got on the ball and tried to make things happen, didn't really look out of place.
