Thanks West Ham. Just when I have tonsillitis you go and move into 4th place and add altitude-inspired nosebleeds to my problems!

Player Ratings

Roy Carroll
A fine game. Some important saves ?EUR" especially early on.


Tomas Repka
Another fine performance. Wasn?EUR(TM)t able to get forward as much as he has recently but he kept his cool defensively.


Paul Konchesky
Not one of his better days, he got caught out of position a few times, notably for Boa-Morte?EUR(TM)s goal.


Anton Ferdinand
Fairly solid, thoughhis early failure to get a challenge in on Jensen might have proved costly on another day.


Danny Gabbidon
Excellent performance ?EUR" strong in the air and his late clearance off the line secured the points at the end.


Hayden Mullins
His strong start continues. Some fine long passes out to the wings were on display today.


Nigel Reo-Coker
Another tireless performance from NRC who was given the armband in Sheringham?EUR(TM)s absence. A tad lucky to survive the latest in a long series of Graham Poll mental aberrations maybe but justice was done in the end. MOTM.


Yossi Benayoun
Some nice touches but not as influential as of late.


Matthew Etherington
Occasionally good going forward he seemed reluctant to take players on and he left Konchesky exposed on a number of occasions.


Marlon Harewood
Looked infinitely more dangerous getting into the box than he did as a midfielder. Fine work for both goals ?EUR" whether both were his or not.


Bobby Zamora
A lot of hard work in the lone ranger slot but without much reward. Nice flick on for the first goal.



Substitutes

Shaun Newton
(Replaced Zamora, 64) A fair bit of running but got caught irritatingly offside from short balls where he ought to have been able to see across the line.


Teddy Sheringham
(Replaced Benayoun, 74) Some excellent link up play in the time he was on.


Jeremie Aliadiere
(Replaced Harewood, 87) Some nice touches but not really on for long enough to have too much of a say in matters.


Shaka Hislop
Did not play.


Christian Dailly
Did not play.
