Sam Johnstone - 6

The goalkeeper did not have a lot to do, but looked a little unconvincing from set pieces and was almost caught out in the final minutes.

Rodrigo Gomes - 8

One of the stars of the show from right-wing-back, R.Gomes put in another excellent display with plenty of attacking threat and another goal.

Matt Doherty - 7

The strongest defender on the day, Doherty was assured, confident, quick and strong. He is in fantastic form.

Santi Bueno - 6

Bueno did nothing particularly wrong and was good on the ball, but has more to do to impress and keep his place.

Emmanuel Agbadou - 6

The new signing was relatively consistent, but made the occasional wayward pass and poor clearance.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - 8

Back in his favoured left-wing-back role, attacking expert Ait-Nouri caused Bristol plenty of problems all afternoon.

Andre - 7

Andre broke the game up nicely and looked after it intelligently. He is one member of a strong midfield partnership.

Joao Gomes - 7

Fellow Brazilian J.Gomes was excellent at carrying the ball forward and breaking the lines, as well as making some key tackles.

Goncalo Guedes - 7

Although he does give the ball away too often and cheaply at times, Guedes created plenty of chances and could have scored himself.

Hwang Hee-chan - 4

The South Korean is out of form again and looks very low on confidence. He spurned good chances in the second half and must do better.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - 5

Larsen worked hard up front but struggled for any impact, in a game he would be expected to dominate in.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (for Guedes, 75), Pablo Sarabia (for Hwang, 75), Pedro Lima (for R.Gomes, 89), Alfie Pond (for Ait-Nouri, 96).

Subs not used: Bentley, Meupiyou, Doyle, Forbs, Chiwome.
