Made one excellent stop to deny Gnanduillet in the first half, but was fortunate that when he dropped a cross, the same striker prevented Husband from scoring by standing offside. 6

Delivery from corners was excellent, yielding an equaliser in the first half and almost another in the second. Less effective from open play but covered plenty of ground. 6

It was his spin and run that ultimately led to the corner from which Charlie Wyke equalised superbly. Offered a threat and ran the channels well, but was caught offside regularly on an ultimately frustrating afternoon in front of goal. 6
