1. Senne Lammens – 7
Commanding in goal, confidently dealt with crosses and made routine saves though might regret conceding the free-kick.

Started shakily but improved with time, contributing well in possession and gaining control as match progressed.
3. Matthijs De Ligt – 6
Solid at the back, produced one excellent last-ditch tackle to halt Brighton’s attack.

Controlled midfield tempo and forced Brighton errors. His shot deflected in for the second goal.

Creative as ever, nearly scored after restart, linked well with forwards.

Energetic on the wings and should’ve had a penalty early on.

“Illustrious and immense,” grabbed two goals and constantly tormented Brighton’s defence.
