Alex Palmer 7

The Albion stopper was rarely called upon - with his defence staying firm. Got down to a shot in the first half, before palming away a fierce Jimmy Dunne cross in the second half.

Darnell Furlong 8

It was like the season had never ended for Furlong - who had a superb afternoon. Going forward, he linked up well with Fellows. But defensively, he was a rock. Won the majority of his battles in the air, including a superb header late on.

Semi Ajayi 7

The spotlight was on Ajayi, as he came back in following Cedric Kipre's departure. He was faultless, both in possession, in the tackle and in the air. A performance that will breed confidence.

Kyle Bartley 7

It was a display where you didn't see anything that stood out, and that is what you want from your defenders. Solid, confident and assured.

Torbjorn Heggem 8
