Gavin Bazunu 9

The yellow brick wall. His distribution and shot-stopping were outstanding. Had to be alert after just five minutes to deny Dušan Vlahović after Shane Duffy’s mistake but could not keep out Sergej Milinković-Savić’s header to make at 1-0. Superbly thwarted Aleksandar Mitrović three times on 39, 57, and 60 minutes. Then saved brilliantly from Nemanja Radonjic on 74.
