This is how the players rated this evening.
Lawrence Vigouroux 6
Made some good saves and was let down by his opponents at times.
Josh Key 6
A pretty decent trip. No player managed more tackles. However, things won’t go quite so well in the future.
Ben Cabango 5
The second Goa was his fault and he was out and about erratically for most of the evening.
Cameron Burgess 6
Made some good contributions but was uncomfortable in possession at times.
Josh Tymon 6
He played some good crosses that unfortunately weren’t converted.

Jay Fulton 6
Didn’t do much wrong and was running quite well at times, but just couldn’t take the lead in the middle of the park. Submerged.
Ethan Galbraith 7 – STARMAN
He took his goal well and set some nice accents in the middle of the park.
Ronald 4
I was lucky that I didn’t get stuck at halftime. Careless ownership and poor finished product. Shortly after the second goal he was finally put out of his misery.
Liam Cullen 5
I can’t fault his work rate, but I couldn’t find the attacking impetus he needed. Submerged.

Eom Jisung 6
Was probably Swansea’s best attacking team at times. Forced a good save in the first half. Submerged.
Zan Vipotnik 6
The link-up play was pretty good, but rarely looked like a goal. Submerged.
