Edwards: Had to be alert to the pace of Sambou down his side. But handled him well. 7

Phillips: Grew into the game. Went close with a well-struck shot and scored a cracker in the second half. On a good run of scoring form. 8

Connell: Saw plenty of the ball and his corner led to opener. Won the penalty for the third goal. 8

Cadden: Put in one glorious ball for an early Cole chance and played his part in a sound team performance. 7

Norwood: Not as much as an influence as Cole and looked a bit rusty. Went off in a bit of discomfort in second half. 6
