Alex Palmer

Barely stretched by a very limited and out-of-sorts visiting side. Did what he needed to with ball well. 7

Darnell Furlong

What a day for the right-back. Two assists and a goal, his fifth of the season. Excellent consistency. 9

Kyle Bartley

Handed the armband over Townsend with Wallace out and Bartley delivered. He won everything aerially and scored a key second. 8

Cedric Kipre

Started the day with two player of the year gongs and shone again. Went inches wide with stunning volley. Defended well. 8
