Made a superb save to deny Ollie Rathbone and much more commanding of his area. Did well to carry on despite his groin issue.

2. Chris Maxwell - 7/10

Solid but relatively unspectacular compared to his midweek escapades. Not quite as adventurous going forwards.

Did really well shifting into the centre. Put his body on the line to make a vital block and dealt with Jordan Hugill well.

Defended well to snuff out any danger, so did his chances no harm whatsoever. Played a lot of lobbed balls up into the sky though.

Stood up to the battle head on. On the front foot from the off and seemed to enjoy the competitive side of the scrap.
