Forwards

Saka (RW) 6.5 – Saka, like some of his teammates, didn’t have his usual impact on the game and didn’t look too threatening, either.

Jesus (ST) 7.0 – “Rising” to score on Easter…it just had to happen, didn’t it? A decent display from Jesus as he battled as we know he can. He was withdrawn with 12 minutes to play.

Martinelli (LW) 7.0 – 7 goals in 8 games as the winger continued his fine form. He looked lively and energetic as usual, but faded as the game went on, but another good game from Martinelli.

Continued on next slide…
