Saka 6/10: He will be a sore tonight as again, he took on a host of physical challenges but managed to get up every time. Final ball lacked as the front three just looked off tonight.

Jesus 6/10: Again worked incredibly hard and put himself about, but like his teammates, was just off in the final third as that final ball was lacking.

Martinelli 6/10: Tried his heart out, got into good positions, but like the other front three, the final ball was lacking in what was an unusual performance.
