Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – 6/10 – made crucial saves from Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Romelu Lukaku, but he couldn’t do much with either goal.

RB – Malo Gusto – 5/10 – got bypassed too easily by Mathias Olivera in the build up to Napoli’s second goal.

CB – Reece James – 7/10 – the captain had a decent game despite playing out of position at centre-half.

CB – Wesley Fofana – 3/10 – got beaten by Vergara and then failed to mark Hojlund. Simply not good enough.

LB – Marc Cucurella – 6/10  –struggled to get forward with Napoli pressing high. He was, though, solid defensively.
