Goalkeeper and Defence

GK – Djordje Petrovic – 7/10 – was shaky under the high ball and his kicking wasn’t great, but he made some good saves, particularly one from Erling Haaland that took a deflection in the second half.

RB – Malo Gusto – 6/10 – got forward to provide width on the right wing in the first half but struggled to deal with Jeremy Doku after the interval.

CB – Axel Disasi – 9/10 – man of the match. The Frenchman made countless blocks and clearances throughout the 90 minutes.

CB – Levi Colwill – 7/10 – solid for the most part but the 20-year-old did lose Haaland who missed a free header in the second half.

LB – Ben Chilwell – 6/10 – the captain had a lot to deal with. Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker all gravitated to his side of the pitch and he did well for the most part. A bit wasteful in possession though.
