Andersen: Did not mess about in clearing his lines and it was a night for no-frills in tough conditions. Went close with a header in the second half. 8
Brittain: Did not have it all his own way going forward, with Douglas monitoring him well enough. Came into it in the second half and showed great energy. 7
Palmer: Did go close with a downward volley. But the demanding Ismael will have been wanting more. 5
