Another imperious display at the back, despite almost scoring an own goal.

Every bit as good as his defensive partner.

Adam Masina - 7

Unfortunate not to get a couple of assists on the night with some good crossing.

Ken Sema - 7

Troy Deeney - 8

Produced an excellent balanced display - came deep when he needed to, combined well with others in attack and scored the vital goal, after winning the penalty.
