**Zion Suzuki:** Good in the air, decent distribution and made three important stops to deny Iliman Ndiaye, Rayan Cherki and Josko Gvardiol with a brilliant, fingertip save. **7**

**Pau Torres:** Calming presence at the back without being too ruffled. **6**
**Ian Maatsen:** Could have scored early on but blazed a volley over. Vital header away to deny Erling Haaland's goalbound header late on. **6**
**John McGinn:** Picked off Marc Guehi to lay on the opening goal and created more chances than anyone else on the pitch. **7**
**Boubacar Kamara:** At the heart of everything good from the home side, sniffing out the danger. **7**
**Joao Gomes:** Mucked in alongside Kamara by keeping the ball ticking and contributing three interceptions. **6**
**Alysson:** The 20-year-old Brazilian impressed against Viking in the Champions League and showed why he was given a start again with another eye-catching performance. **7**
**Johan Manzambi:** Switzerland international displayed sparks of his undoubted talent and could have had a penalty in the first half. **6**
**Nicolas Jackson:** Brimming with confidence. Took the opening goal brilliantly, firing high into the roof of the net, before stroking in a second. **9**
