Lloris – 7/10
No help on both of the goals but made a great save from Kone.
Walker – 6/10
Struggled defending against Maloney and was ok going forward
Dawson – 7/10
Cleaned up well but was rash when he dived in on Kone for Hugo to save
Vertonghen – 6/10
Fingers were pointed at his marking for the equaliser
Naughton – 6/10
Had to do better with Wigan’s second goal especially when he let McManaman cut inside.
Parker – 5/10
Went missing after Dembele’s injury and struggled to find a place in the game with THud and Holtby on the ball, maybe should of shot first time after Defoe’s first half run.
Huddlestone – 8/10
Sat very deep looking for the ball inline with the centre-backs, looked comfortable on the ball one of his better games.
Dembele – n/a
Not much to report on.
Bale – 7/10
Got lucky on the goal, credit to him for chasing down and was trying to get involved but was quiet throughout the game.
Dempsey 7/10
Only got started in the second half and clipped in a good cross at the end of the game.
Defoe – 7/10
One of the better players on the day, but struggled to get any space when on the ball.
Subs
Holtby- ran his little legs off but lacked creativity
Lennon – introduced late into the game and never got going
Ekotto – didn’t have to do any defending and put in a good couple of crosses
