Raphinha – made a couple of chances but still looking for his best form 6

Substitutes:
Joe Gelhardt (for Rodrigo , 63) – made a quick and good impact from the bench 6
Adam Forshaw (for Klich, 70) – booked almost as soon as he came on and ended up playing in a back three so Dallas could get forward more 5
Tyler Roberts (for Harrison, 75) – an injury almost as soon as he came on made him a passenger 4
Not used: Bamford, Klaesson, Cresswell, Summerville, Greenwood, Shackleton.
