Tried to get forward but had very few openings to show his quality. A quiet cameo. 5 Photo: Adam Davy

Should have scored the winner when Embleton set him loose but was unlucky his effort hit the bar. Enjoyed the game a lot more when he moved right through the middle, troubling Benfica with his runs off the shoulder. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
