Gavin Bazunu 7. A fourth consecutive game for the Man City stopper. Had little to do in the first half until a stunning one-handed 39th minute save to push away Adam Szalai’s header. His passing and distribution were very good. Replaced at the break by Kelleher between the posts.

Shane Duffy 8. Ireland’s man of the match. Deployed on the right-side of the back-three. Although not his usual position, he was back to his best. Used the ball well. Was always a target off set-pieces and made a nuisance of himself off most of them.
