After an encouraging debut display last time out, Aaron Wan-Bissaka went from strength to strength during a tricky away trip on this occasion. Proving his worthwhile justifying the Spider nickname with his rangy long legs in full flow, the 21-year-old oozed class defensively while showing an added eagerness to work on the creative side of his game - often overlooked given his world-class defensive qualities.

Running tirelessly up and down the pitch, he battled hard against Diogo Jota and regularly came out on top against the Portuguese forward. He needed to be confident and composed with Daniel James looking shaky and vulnerable ahead of him; he did so with an effortless swagger beyond his years.

His match statistics speak for themselves: 11 of 14 duels won, nine tackles completed, won possession three times, two successful dribbles, one interception and clearance made. A game-high 115 touches proving he's quickly becoming comfortable in possession and on another evening, he would have had an assist for his troubles but for Boly's important deflection on his probing pass into Lingard after the break.

The only blemish on another impressive showing? He picked up a booking, albeit harsh from referee Jon Moss after a handball late in the second half.
