Two gorgeous assists, with his passing ability on show throughout on the big Wembley pitch – 9

TYLER GOODRHAM

What a display from the young man. Pressed high up the pitch and pinched the ball back relentlessly. BOOKED – 8.5

Clattered into by Bolton goalkeeper Nathan Baxter. Free kick was awarded when replays suggested it was a penalty – 8
