Leandro Trossard (RW) - 4/10 - This is not his role and he really didn't offer much. It was no surprise he was the first to be withdrawn.

Kai Havertz (ST) - 3/10 - I have some sympathy for Havertz given that he missed two games last week through illness, but there's no legislating that second-half miss. Not sure why he ended up floating towards the right flank after.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) - 5/10 - Hit the post and got no change out of Tino Livramento (again).


Substitutes

  • Gabriel Jesus - 5/10
  • Jorginho - 6/10
  • Oleksandr Zinchenko - 4/10

Player of the match: Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
