Didn't have a lot to do today, but pulled off a sensational save to keep it 2-1. A big moment in a tight game.

Maybe guilty of a split-second of ball-watching on their goal, but otherwise a titanic performance out of position because we have no right-backs.

Did ok, called in as a last minute replacement for Riccardo Calafiori who was injured in the warm-up

Also fine, but I wonder if in games like this we need to braver and hand those last 20 minutes to Eze as a way to pose more threat

His best game for some time, opened the scoring with an excellent finish, made 5 key passes creating chances for others

Lively down the left, especially in the first half when it seemed he was taking the stick from the Brighton fans personally

Provided the assist for Odegaard, put one on a plate for Martinelli, and caused them problems all day long. Should have scored that late chance though

3 shots today, 2 on target, but he missed his best opening of the game very early on with a really tame effort that he should be doing better with

Good to see him back, hopefully useful minutes ahead of Villa

Some nice moments, but like others not as decisive as he needed to be in their box

He was actually quite effective, but when you miss that kind of chance to calm all our nerves, you don't get anything above the baseline

10/10 - winning, but these knife edge games make it feel a bit 1/10 while they're being won
