2. Freddie Woodman - 6
He made some relatively routine saves throughout the game and could do nothing with the goals, all of them excellent finishes. His kicking was a bit wayward at times. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
3. Jordan Storey - 7
Largely held Spurs at bay, particularly in the first half, up against Heung-Min Son and Ryan Sessegnon down the left hand side. Looked quite composed on the ball and timed his tackles well. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Liam Lindsay - 7
His fine season is showing as he looked confident and assured throughout the game despite coming up against some elite attackers in European football. Made a vital block in the first half. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
