LENY YORO: 5

Still not seeing much of why at £57M he’s rated one of best young defenders in Europe.

MATTHIJS DE LIGT: 6

One central defender who properly looked like he knew what he was about.

LISANDRO MARTINEZ: 5

Struggled to exert any influence – not so much as a defender but a leader.

MANUEL UGARTE: 4

Own goal summed up a serious first half no-show as part of a pitiful midfield.

KOBBIE MAINOO: 4

Replaced at the break – the only surprise being that if was Antony who took over.

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: 7

The best buy of ex-boss Erik ten Hag’s last big summer spend at just £12.7M

ALEJANDRO GARNACHO: 5

Terrible 20th minute miss but one of the few to show any real spark.

BRUNO FERNANDES: 5

Shouldn’t be captain. Undoubted flair, but just not dependable enough.

RASMUS HOIJLUND: 4

Brilliant pass for Garnacho to mess up but otherwise? No threat at all.

SUBS: 

ANTONY (for Mainoo 46): 3

Awful 58th minute miss from one yard out.

ZIRKZEE ( Hoijlund 54): 4

Embarrassed himself with one miss-kick.

COLLYER (Ugarte 54): 5

Got stuck in at least.

ERIKSEN (Mazraoui 83): 5

Added a little craft.
