CC 6 Sound performance, the saves being ones you expect a gk to make
Hutton 6 Still too poor with control and lacking in crucial moments
Gallas 7 Growing in confidence and looking a key part of the team
Kaboul 8 A really strong showing, making bad errors but then recovering strongly. Dawson-like.
BAE 7 Determined and resolute
Lennon 7 Crossing again a major weakness but drew the fouls from cynical defending
Modric 8 The lord of invention. Some careless passing in open areas, but the exquisiteness of his movement and control was inspiring
Hudd 8 Composed and disciplined. A quietly impressive performance.
Bale 10 Bale is a GOD
VDV 8 VDV is a Jesus
Crouch 6 Until he was on the end of Bale's cross, very weak, not least in skewing a shot that was best put across to VDV. You have to be in there to finish it, even if your grandmother could have done it.
Jenas 6 Terrible dive and not overly impressive. Composed without pulling up any trees
Pav 6 Again Bale. But he was there to finish it.
Palacios 7 Exactly what was required. Intercepting, tackling with discipline, then moving the ball on to the free man
