2. DeAndre Yedlin - 7

3. Fabian Schar - 8
Not his best day with the ball but won absolutely everything put his way. One outstanding goal-saving challenge. Photo: Jan Kruger
4. Jamaal Lascelles - 6
Allowed Harry Maguire a free header in the first half but more than made up for that with some vital wins in the air. Photo: Ian MacNicol
