Guiseley player ratings as team effort knocks Sutton United out of FA Cup

Guiseley not only bat but outperformed a team two divisions higher in the English football pyramid to reach the FA Cup second round for only the third time in their history.

Jake Hall – only one – routine – save to make but his distribution was important to the gameplan 7

Lucas Odunston – dealt well with the dangerous Jermaine Francis 6

Lebrun Mbeka – his long throw-ins caused problems 7

Elliot Owen – one who had a good first-half chance but could not take it 6

Ollie Brown – had an eventful game, missing an excellent chance at left-back but effective there and when he switched to midfield 7

Harrison Hopper – played some lovely passes from the anchorman role 7
