Gomes (7) – Not much to do as in general, the goal apart, he was well protected.
Corluka (6) – It’s difficult for him without Lennon in front of him as Kranjcar wandered all over the shop. Struggled with Olsson on occasions.
Assou-Ekotto (7) – Combined well with Bale going forward. Comfortable at the back.
Dawson (7) – Will be disappointed with himself for the goal.
Bassong (7) – Did well given the amount the ball was in the air.
Bale (9) – Strong, skilful, speedy and superb.
Palacios (8) – Full of energy as ever, some great runs to support the attack. Seems to have raised his game to cope with having the comparatively lightweight Modric alongside him.
Modric (7) – Great ball for the opening goal but some dodgy decision making after half time cost us the chance to get further ahead earlier.
Kranjcar (6) – Rarely spent much time on the right. Didn’t waste possession and worked hard but a bit peripheral.
Defoe (7) – Perhaps not as involved as he’d like to be but gets a seven for nicking the first, vital goal.
Pav (8) – Found space where Defoe often couldn’t and you can’t argue with two more goals.
