2. Djed Spence - 5
Struggled again the lively Ilias Chair on the flank and didn’t make a significant impact going forward. 5 Photo: Getty Images
3. Anfernee Dijksteel - 6
His hardest game of the season so far and was beaten a few times by Osayi-Samuel early on. Adapted well after switching to right-back in the second half. 6 Photo: Richard Heathcote
4. Grant Hall - 6
Dealt well with the physical threat of Lyndon Dykes and was commanding in the air. Forced off with an injury shortly after the break. 6 Photo: Getty Images
