Meslier - 6. Mixed bag. Couple of dropsy moments first half. Made one standard save, one good save straight after half time. Looked reluctant to get involved in the high balls at times.
Ayling - 6. A bit sloppy but bombed forward enough. Mix up with Struijk 1st half cost a needless corner but largely decent.
Rodon - 9. Great game. Dominant in the air. Sustained a cut. Read the game well. Stepped in and brought the ball out of defence and has learned to cover Struijk when he goes walkabout.
Struijk - 6. A game of two halves. 1st half caused us real issues at the back having a hand in giving away needless corners and not winning his battle against a much smaller striker. Grew in confidence as the game wore on after his brain fart after half time and was dominant 2nd half.
Byram - 7. Solid, dependable, helped cover Struijk. Got forward and played well with Gnonto. Not so well with Summerville.
Ampadu - 9. MOM by a distance. One stray pass 1st half stops it being a perfect performance. Right place at the right time EVERY time. Should be playing higher level.
Gray - 8. Perfect foil for Ampadu. Very mature performance again. Nothing too eye catching but keeps things ticking over and covers a huge distance.
Summerville - 6. Needs to do things quicker. Unlucky with a lob 1st half. His runs in to space were good but no end product today. Not his day but it will come.
Gnonto - 7. Continuously fouled but ref let everything go. Chased back after a lazy 1st 10 minutes and ran his full back all game.
Piroe - 9. Battled well. Linked up well. 2 goals. The goalscorer we've needed for so long.
Rutter - 8. Goes to ground too easily. Needs to use the ball quicker but involved in all three goals and worked the defender really hard.
Subs.
James - 7. 2 assists. Should have scored himself.
Anthony - 6. Good energy. Nearly scored. Good start.
