CB) Marcos Rojo 7 – An interesting player, Rojo largely had an excellent game but looks capable of a mistake at any moment.
RWB) Antonio Valencia 6 – The Ecuadorian international was quietly effective down the right hand flank, helping to nullify the dangerous Dusan Tadic.
LWB) Ashley Young 8 – Much maligned and playing out of position, this was a performance for which Young should be commended – he was excellent.
