Mario Lemina

It seems like the Gabonese international features in these more regularly than he doesn’t, and he was impressive in midfield once again on Saturday.

He boasted the best passing accuracy of anyone on the pitch with nearly 94 percent whilst both of his long passes were characteristically accurate.

He once again ran the show with a handful of successful dribbling runs whilst helping to connect the defence and attack the best he could.

Lemina had three shots over the course of the game but none of his efforts were on target, unfortunately. Nonetheless, he enjoyed a solid afternoon.
