Midfielders

Oriol Romeu, Central-Midfield – 6.5

Four successful tackles and four interceptions throughout the game as he returned to the side.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Central-Midfield – 6.5

A fairly quite afternoon for the Dane who grew into the game as his side did.

James Ward-Prowse, Right-Midfield – 7.5

Some dangerous balls into the area that produced a number of chances for Yoshida in particular. A decent job at Right Wing-Back in Valery’s absence and a goalline clearance to deny Rondon.

Ryan Bertrand, Left-Midfield – 7

Some good ground made down the left flank at times. Three successful tackles and three blocks throughout the match.
