Ollie Norwood. Did not dictate as he can in the first half. Better after the break. 6

John Fleck. Him and Norwood were second best to Hernandez and co in the first period. But kept going and was a hive of industry. 7

Enda Stevens. Grew into the game after a testing opening and had a rewarding afternoon. 7

David McGoldrick: His defence-splitting pass to Basham just before the break was a wonderful one and he showede his experience. 7

Billy Sharp. Quiet in front of goal, but produced a crafty contribution for the winner. 7

Substitutes: Kieran Dowell (McGoldrick 88), John Lundstram (Basham 90).
