Gabriel Martinelli (RW) - 6.5/10 - Did cause some problems down the right and did well to get into the box on a number of occasions. Would have liked to have more impact than he did however. Withdrawn with 10 minutes to play.

Mikel Merino (ST) - 7.5/10 - Grabbed the winner with a good header from Odegaard's corner. Dropped into midfield on multiple occasions and did a good job on and off the ball.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - 6/10 - Had some good half chances but struggled to have too much of an impact. Did cause some issues for Chelsea however.
