He was characteristically aggressive in the tackle, but most notably, he was far more composed in possession, showcasing improved decision-making with his passing. Joe Gomez – 7.5/10* He was only on the field for 26 minutes but was virtually perfect.

To his credit, he defied critics of his work ethic by putting in a massive defensive shift and grabbed an assist for Ekitike’s headered second goal. Dominik Szoboszlai – 7.5/10 One of Szoboszlai’s worst games of the season and he was still top-notch.

If he can continue improving at the rate he is, there is no reason he should not be heading to the FIFA World Cup next year with England. Forget the fact that he scored his second successive brace in the Premier League, he was almost untouchable in possession.
