HENNESSEY......................8
Superb handling, bossed his area and made two fine saves.
STEARMAN.......................7
Very bright especially bombing forwards, before the broken wrist.
JOHNSON..........................6
Got away with a shanked early clearance, lost Jagielka for goal.
WARD...............................7
Goal-line block denied Cahill and did not deserve late penalty call.
EDWARDS.........................7
Clever passing and industrious running, won the penalty.
HENRY..............................7
Boo-boys a thing of the past, much improved in last two games.
MILIJAS............................6
Surprise start but the extra man in midfield didn’t pay off.
HUNT................................6
A fine spot-kick under pressure, but so often on the fringes.
O’HARA............................6
Didn’t get forward much, and didn’t do enough with the ball.
DOYLE..............................7
Gave defenders a tough old time, but was ploughing a lone furrow.
