EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is being updated in real-time as the match concludes. Please refresh for final ratings and post-match analysis.
- Mamardashvili (710) A pair of big saves in the first half. Nothing he could do about Barsley’s goal
- Gomez (5/10): Not much to talk about, and also picked up a yellow card
- Van Dijk (7/10) Good defending, plus nearly scored in the second half
- Szboszlai (5/10) The ultimate feast or famine game. Scored a goal, but also surrendered one, both in spectacular fashion
- Mac Allister (9/10) Huge impact with a pair of assists
- Chiesa (6/10) He was solid, but did not take full advantage of extended minutes
- Jones (6/10) Barely had his name called all night, but made no mistakes
- Gakpo (6/10) Pretty quiet but did have a nice header toward the goal
- Frimpong (8/10). Solid runs down the wing, capped off with a goal
- Robertson (7/10) Solid defending and made a few probing runs forward
- Ngumoha (6/10) Some moments of brilliance, but also gave away some cheap fouls to end attacks
The Substitutes
- Ekitike (7/10) Created some good chances with 30 minutes on the pitch
- Wirtz (7/10) Sloppy finish in front ofthe goal, but put the game away with a screamer late
- Konate (6/10) Nice defensive header to stop an attack
- Gravenberch (6/10) Servacable replacement for an injured Ngumoha
- Nyoni (6/10) Late sub, no real impact
Man of the Match
- Alexis Mac Allister: As I predicted in the match preview, had a strong game in the midfield that produced a pair of assists
The Manager
- Arne Slot (8/10) Went for it with a strong Starting XI and impact subs in Wirtz and Ekitike
