Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – 5/10 – made some good stops and he was slightly unlucky with the deflection for De Ketelaere’s goal, although some will feel he still should have saved it.

RB – Trevoh Chalobah – 6/10 – got a booking in the first half before being replaced at the break by Fofana.

CB – Josh Acheampong – 7/10 – a very strong first 45 minutes from the teenager, who blocked a certain goal from Ademola Lookman, before denying the same man later in the half.

CB – Benoit Badiashile – 6/10 – a big improvement on his display against Leeds. He seems to be getting back his sharpness.

LB – Marc Cucurella – 4/10 – although the Spaniard was decent on the ball, he was arguably at fault for both goals, not closing down the cross for Scamacca’s equaliser before repeating the mistake for De Ketelaere’s shot.
