Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Djordje Petrovic – 6/10 – flapped at a cross that led to Jarrod Bowen hitting the bar but did save well from a James Ward-Prowse freekick.
RB – Trevoh Chalobah – 7/10 – solid defensively and played a crucial pass in the build-up to Nicolas Jackson’s first goal.
CB – Thiago Silva – 7/10 – a surprise return from injury for the Brazilian who provided the assist with a header for Noni Madueke’s goal.
CB – Benoit Badiashile – 7/10 – looking more like the player who performed so well last season. His confidence is returning slowly but surely.
LB – Marc Cucurella – 7/10 – comfortable when defending or when asked to go in field and play in the inverted fullback role.
