Tom Heaton 6
Came tantalisingly close to saving the penalty. Heart in mouth first half moment when Grosicki lobbed him and crossbar.
Matt Lowton 7
Good defensively against a tricky opponent in Grosicki. Read the game well and stepped in to intercept on several occasions.
Michael Keane 8 (Man of the Match)
Unlucky with the handball but took his goal like a 30-a-season striker. Won a lot of headers and was good on the ball. Looking a really classy operator these days.
Ben Mee 7
Defensively solid. Aggressive in the air when the challenge came.
Stephen Ward 7
Given a tough test by the tongue twisting pair of Elmohamady and Elabdellaoui but stood up to it well.
George Boyd 7
Saw plenty of the ball in the early stages and came inside to take up some clever positions. Linked up with Lowton well.
Joey Barton 6
Not his best performance since his return but combined well with a relatively new midfielder partner at times.
Ashley Westwood 7
Saw both sides of his game. Combative at times and one excellent ball over the top for Gray in second half..
Robbie Brady 6
Found plenty of space, especially first half, but final ball wasn’t quite there for most of the afternoon.
Ashley Barnes 5
First booking seems harsh but no complaints with second and committed a lot of fouls.
Andre Gray 6
Tried to beat Maguire and Ranocchia with pace and so nearly worked in the second half when he shot just wide.
