9. John Fleck 7
Looked disappointed with himself as an early effort on his left foot was saved by Gazzaniga. Linked up well down the left with O'Connell and Stevens Photo: Simon Bellis
10. David McGoldrick 7
Thought he had got United back on level terms when he touched in Stevens' cross at the back post, before VAR ruled it out after what seemed like an eternity Photo: James Wilson
11. Lys Mousset 7
Showed pace and power in another impressive showing. Almost broke the deadlock when he turned Sanchez inside-out, but powered his shot wide of the post Photo: James Wilson
12. Callum Robinson n/a
Came on late on as United looked to see out the game Photo: Simon Bellis
