Blocked a Benrahma shot after 15, gave ball away a few minutes later. Slid a neat pass to Ronaldo on 32.

First league start since injury, he committed to tackles – with mixed success. Played out of his natural position. Caught out on one counter. Watched by England manager Gareth Southgate. Header stopped an 80th minute West Ham attack. Did well at set pieces towards the end. Much better in second half. Getty
Quiet start but drifted a spectacular ball into Rashford on 39 for the opening goal. Delicate touches were effective. Integral. Came off after 78 but still had more touches than any player who went the duration. Getty
Came out to clear the ball when Benrahma charged in on 25 minutes, then saved from Bowen a minute later. Held a Benrahma shot well on 68. Far busier towards the end, saving from Antonio on 82 and – spectacularly – from Zouma also on 82. And again from Rice on 92. EPA
Fantastic pass towards the penalty box on four minutes. Playing every week and improving with it. Got back to win a header to stop a Hammers attack on 65. Same again to stop Antonio by the back post on 81 as West Ham finished strongly, but so did Dalot, who was praised by his manager. AFP
Lively start when he recovered the ball several times. Energetic and overlapped past Rashford. Crossed towards Ronaldo on 61. Busy when West Ham attacked him towards the end and caught out of position once, but effective and on form. EPA

The full-back was less marauding than his opposite partner, but he offered the defensive security that allowed Spinazzola to venture forward. He would often tuck in to a make-shift back three when in transition. EPA

The 36-year-old brought the ball out well from the back similar to the previous game against Turkey. He had scored from a corner, tapping in from close-range, before it was disallowed for handball. He was subbed halfway through the first half with a muscular injury. EPA

Spinazzola took control of the left flank defensively but had even more of an impact when attacking it. The full-back was unpredictable, able to go both outside and cut back inside on his right throughout the game. EPA

The midfielder pressed well and offered something going forward on the right of midfield. He grabbed an assist in the second half, laying the ball up for Locatelli. EPA

The midfielder had a brilliant game, progressing his side up the pitch well when he had the chance. He scored a comfortable goal from a few yards out in the 26th minute following a bursting run into the box. He doubled his tally later with a strike from the edge of the box into the bottom corner.

Berardi looked a threat on the right, seen most clearly with a dangerous run and cross for an assist in the first half. EPA
