Don't think he could anything about either goal, made some good saves from Watkins

Solid at the back, made tackles and got forward well down the right

Very impressive today, did not deserve to be on the losing side. Sank to his knees and slammed the ground when their winner went in

Some good, some not so good, picked up a yellow which means he misses the next game

Looked a bit tired once or twice, but dug deep and produced a brilliant late ball which Gyokeres failed to attack and Madueke wasted at the back post

Really tried to drive the team, particularly in the second half, took shots, made incisive passes

Not quite at his best today, but did play an important part in our goal

Switched off at the back post to let Cash score, he knew he'd made a mistake. Struggled to impact the game from the left, subbed at half-time

A tired performance, understandably so to be fair, and he was taken off at half-time

His output this season has been fantastic, came on and scored a goal, caused problems, but then had to come after picking up a knock from a nasty tackle from behind

On after the break, made zero impact, made 1 pass in 45 minutes, and when we needed him to show his centre-forward instincts, he was caught on his heels when Rice delivered that great ball across their 6 yard box

Not on long enough to rate but I think he should do better with that back-post chance, even if it's on his wrong foot

Bonus

0/10 Having to listen to that insufferable twat Fletch on TNT Sports. Losing is bad enough, but this loudmouth dickhead makes it even worse
