EMI MARTINEZ

Was equal to Haaland’s first half effort and then commanded his box impressively in the second half. Much more sure-handed than of late.

Unbeaten: 7

MATTY CASH

Continued his strong start to the season with another excellent goal. A happy accident, as the corner wasn’t actually meant for him.

Goal: 8

EZRI KONSA

Always in the right place at the right time. In the perfect position to clear in the closing stages just when Haaland was ready to head home.

Imperious: 8

PAU TORRES

Made a vital intervention to clear Savinho’s strike over the bar from inside his own six-yard box. Looks a player transformed from two months ago.

Strong: 7
