20. Robin van Persie – 6
Disappointing all-round performance from the Dutchman, but delivered when handed a chance from 12 yards.
9. Radamel Falcao – 4
Another anonymous performance from the Colombian and it wouldn’t be surprised to see the forward spend a time on the bench.
Substitutions:
12. Chris Smalling – 9
The hero on the day as the England international scored twice on the day despite being edgy at the back.
21. Ander Herrera – 6
The midfielder filled in admirably for Blind, but was forced to do more defensive work than he would’ve liked.
49. James Wilson – 6
Had little time to influence the encounter but could find himself in the team more often with Falcao’s form.
