Forwards
Reiss Nelson (RW) – 5/10 – Typically spritely, but Nelson’s decision-making and execution in the final third weren’t up to standard.
Eddie Nketiah (ST) – 3/10 – There were no heroics from Nketiah on this occasion. In fact, he was poor. The striker spurned a couple of half-chances in the first half, and his touch was often loose when the ball arrived at his feet.
Leandro Trossard (LW) – 5.5/10 – Trossard produced a few clever moments in the final third, but there was little by way of a performance.
Substitutes
Takehiro Tomiyasu – 6/10
Declan Rice – 5.5/10
Bukayo Saka – 5/10
Gabriel Martinelli – 4.5/10
Martin Odegaard – 6/10
