Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Kepa Arrizabalaga – 5/10 – the Spaniard couldn’t do much with either goal, but he had to be bailed out by Cristhian Mosquera after Leo Scienza went round him.

RB – Ben White – 3/10 – as mentioned, the fullback misjudged the flight of the ball, which led to Southampton’s opener. Also committed a number of fouls.

CB – Cristhian Mosquera – 5/10 – despite his good work in the first half, including stopping Scienza from scoring, he also made a terrible error with a pass that probably should have led to the Saints doubling their lead.

CB – Gabriel – 5/10 – like Mosquera, the Brazilian had good and bad moments. He missed a header that nearly led to a Southampton goal. However, his incisive through ball to Kai Havertz did lead to the equaliser.

LB – Myles Lewis-Skelly – 4/10 – poor on the ball, and he made several mistakes defensively.
