Hide AdGeorge Baldock 8. Superb. His delivery from the right wing was consistently excellent and he was a threat throughout game
Chris Basham 7. A whole-hearted display, typical of Basham, but wasted two good chances to cross and hurt the Owls
Richard Stearman 8. A class act amongst the chaos. Dealt easily with Rhodes and comfortably with Joao and Nuhiu. Used ball well
Jack O'Connell 7. A constant outlet as United poured forward and attempted to find a way through. Linked up well with Fleck

Hide AdEnda Stevens 6. Began the game well and put a couple of superb crosses across the box, but faded in the second period
John Lundstram 7. Helped keep United ticking over and his accurate cross-field passing was a joy to watch. Growing by the game
John Fleck 8. Simply a superb footballer. Has all the time in the world on the ball and everything good came through him
Mark Duffy 7. Brilliant vision and pass set up Baldock for an early chance, and he buzzed around the pitch all evening

Hide AdLeon Clarke 6. A quiet night for the league’s top goalscorer, who perhaps could have made way instead of Donaldson
Clayton Donaldson 7. A handful all evening for Pudil, and had United’s best chance with a looping header which Wildsmith saved
Substitutes: James Wilson 6. A debut for the on-loan Manchester United man, but he struggled to make a real impact save for one shot
Not Used: Jamal Blackman, Jake Wright, Billy Sharp, Lee Evans, Ryan Leonard, Daniel Lafferty
