Lisandro Martinez – 8/10

In the first round, he was unable to hold on to Adama Traore on the wing, but he made up for it in a one-on-one duel where Traore quickly counterattacked.

Cobby Minoo – 7/10

He started off well, reliable when he had the ball, and made a few interceptions.

Casemiro – 8/10

One of the players who showed good form in this match, he was involved in many moments when the team created the attacking game. He came up to score from a free kick opened by Bruno but headed over the bar. *He had another chance to score from a long shot but missed the target.

Amad Diallo – 5/10

Fulham didn’t do much behind the scenes, although they did look dizzy at times.

Mason Mount – 5/10

There was nothing substantial in the first half and he even got booked. Less than 10 minutes into the second half. He almost put his team 1-0 up but his shot was denied by Leno. And that was the only good moment Mount had.

Marcus Rashford – 5/10

He has speed, but in many situations he lacks stability and quality. This season he has to regain his good form.

Bruno Fernandes (Captain) – 5/10

Continuing his role as a false nine from last week’s Community Shield, he missed two golden opportunities in the first half. He should have put his team ahead in the first half hour but his shot was saved by Leno.
