Mathias de Ligt- 7 

De Ligt had a satisfactory game with no such defensive task to do as the visitors were defensive after scoring the opener. The Dutch defender was good with his positioning and blocking as well. 

Eric Dier-7

Alphonso Davies-5 

Davies could not find the right pass and failed to support in the attack as well. The Canadian left-back failed to keep up the expectations and was thus changed during the hour mark of the second half.
