Son should have been one rating lower because he was pretty awful, but that finish was quality.
I'll say one thing in Auerier's defence: he didn't try to hide or go missing. But it's only a plea in mitigation, because he was a mess.
Auerier was also the cause of some of Sanchez's problems, so I've given latter the benefit of the doubt and given him a par marking. I am very excited about this lad. Looks an absolute thoroughbred defender to me, like Desailly or Baresi or Maldini. Maybe that's a bit OTT, but you could see the same demeanour in all those players when they were young.
Winks' and Kane's markings kinda ruined by injury - former in particular looked to be having a decent game early doors.
Was tempted to give Sissoko a higher rating because, as it turned out, his energy was pretty important in the last 10 minutes and he did disrupt a couple of their dangerous attacks. So I give him high marks for bottle and fitness, but that's about it I'm afraid.
