Manuel Lanzini (6.5) - The Argentine had a few glimpses where he showed his skill but at other stages disappeared in the match and tired fairly early.

Jesse Lingard (8) - The loanee put in a masterclass performance, created chances for himself and others, won the penalty and had so much energy in his game. Only missing a goal.
Jarrod Bowen (7) -Played as a central striker and done well in the absence of Michail Antonio. Had pace to cause a few problems.
Substitutes:
Mark Noble (6) - The captain replaced Lanzini. Didn't do too much, but was solid in the middle.
Said Benrahma (7) - Only came on for the last few minutes but picked up an assist as he set up Ryan Fredericks.
Ryan Fredericks (7) - Fredericks came off the bench in stoppage time and managed to find the back of the net in that short space of time.
