Martin Odegaard (CM) - 6.5/10 - An improved performance as he assisted Rice's opening goal with a nice pass to split open the Cherries defence. Faded as the game went on and lost a wrestling battle with Evanilson for the second goal.

Thomas Partey (CM) - 6.5/10 - Cut out plenty of passes amid a decent performance at the base of midfield. Failed to replicate that with his own passes however, seeing multiple intercepted. Shifted to right back late on.

Declan Rice (CM) - 7.5/10 - Missed a couple of half chances early on but made amends when he rounded Kepa brilliantly before firing in for the opener. Covered plenty of ground but avoided jumping for Semenyo's throw which Huijsen headed in. Subbed off with 15 minutes to play.
