2. Luke Ayling
7 - A mixed bag. Wasteful in possession a few times and lost Andersen for the Fulham goal but posed a goal threat and worked hard. Photo by ANDY RAIN/POOL/AFP via Getty Images.
3. Pascal Struijk
8 - Brought the ball out really well in the first half, some nice passes. Defended well for the most part. Photo by Matt Dunham - Pool/Getty Images.
4. Diego Llorente
7 - A couple of indecisive moments aside, a mostly solid performance. Battled well with Andersen at set-pieces. Photo by Matt Dunham - Pool/Getty Images.
5. Gjanni Alioski
