Couldn't do much with the goal, made a couple of fairly routine saves

So solid defensively against both the wingers he faced, that moment late on might haunt him when he tried to head it when Gyokeres was in a better position but it's split second stuff

I thought he dealt with the yellow card well, given how early in the game it came, solid on the ball

Like Mosquera, dealt with a yellow well, and made some very solid challenges.

I was screaming at the TV 'DON'T FOUL' because I knew he was going to make a foul and then he made the foul which saw him booked. Taken off at half-time.

The early yellow didn't to him any favours, meant he couldn't play in the front-footed way which makes him most effective

Our best player again, defensively so good, worked between the centre-halves to take the stress off an inexperienced partnership in a really difficult game.

The star last Sunday, fairly anonymous today. So it goes.

Produced a fantastic bit of wing-play to set up Mikel Merino's headed equaliser. Aside from that, couldn't quite find the quality with shots or crosses

Peripheral, didn't give us much threat down the left, but it's as much to do with the collective performance as him as an individual

Another big goal from the Spaniard, a well-taken header, also forced Sanchez into a couple of good saves

He was probably told before he came on at the break, DO NOT GET BOOKED. Got booked carelessly inside 10 minutes. Yellows inhibit performance.

Looked bright but couldn't help provide the attacking craft we needed. He has been out for long time though.

He must have been thinking about making an impact on his return to his former club, but felt off the pace – again perhaps because he was out for so long

Only had two touches of the ball in 20 minutes or so. Which tells you something about him, but also about how we didn't produce quality in their final third.

0/10 - Moises Caicedo having the temerity to act like he was hurt, then saying 'Who, me?!' when the red card was issued. He was wound up from the start, and Merino is lucky he wasn't seriously injured.
