Andre Onana

Could not do anything about Joachim Andersen's deflected strike. Had a simple save to make from Will Hughes' drilled shot. 6

Diogo Dalot

Did well to deny Jeffrey Schlupp a one-on-one with the game goalless and he should have had an assist with a cross for Mason Mount. 7

Raphael Varane

One of the few respectable performers in the first half and defended vigilantly when called upon. Did little wrong. 6

Victor Lindelof

Still off it and his form could let Harry Maguire back into the side. Did not relish any of the physical duels. 5

Had some bright moments in the first half but his influence waned after Andersen scored. Missed a great headed chance from Dalot's cross. 5

Facundo Pellistri

His fourth start for
