Manager, Goalkeeper and Defenders

Ralph Hasenhuttl, Manager – 7.5

The setup that he went with for the game today perhaps didn’t pay off, but at least Saints now have a manager who isn’t frightened of making early changes to help his side.

Angus Gunn, Goalkeeper – 8

One superb stop to deny Isaac Hayden’s sweet volley from range that also took a deflection on its way towards goal.

Jack Stephens, Centre-Back – 6

Would have wanted to prove a point on returning to the starting line-up but was sacrificed at half-time as Hasenhuttl made positive changes.

Maya Yoshida, Centre-Back – 7

A number of chances to score from set-pieces. Not least a second-half hook over the bar from Redmond’s cutback.

Jan Bednarek, Centre-Back – 6.5

A composed display and stopped a couple of counter attacks as Saints searched for an equaliser.
