Was a piece unstable under lock and key, yet compensated for that with a couple of astounding recoveries - especially one to deny Diogo Dalot in the last part.

Possibly better than Gabriel, yet not at his best. Battled to work out from the back when United squeezed him high up.
Gabriel 5
The Brazilian won't have any desire to see a replay of the United goal as he permitted Ronaldo to float off him unreasonably without any problem. A piece is insecure all game.

Genuinely compelling when permitted to take care of business. Appears to have rediscovered the connection up play with Saka that has been so hazardous this season.
Emile Smith Rowe 6
Had an alright game, yet not at the level, he was on Wednesday late evening during the success over Chelsea. Required off soon after the hour mark.
Eddie Nketiah 7
His connection up play has come on so much contrast with the last time he got a run of games. Had a goal precluded for offside as well?
