6. Ben Whiteman - 7

7. Ali McCann - 7
Handled the ball well under pressure on a few occasions. He put himself about as always and got through 74 minutes. Scuffed a good chance over in the second half. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
8. Kaine Kesler Hayden - 7
Busy all game up and down the left flank; his endeavour could not be faulted. Just lacked that incisiveness and end product in the final third, which is to be expected. | Getty Images
