Had a tough task defensively against Diamond, but looked a good outlet in an attacking capacity. 6
Another who offered plenty going forward, the full-back put in a disciplined and effective performance. 7
Tenacious and a real driving force in midfield throughout, a superb showing from the youngster. 8
Disciplined at the back, he kept a watchful eye on Benji Kimpioka and limited his impact. 6
