1. Aaron Ramsdale - 8
Made a decent early save from Ayling which will have boosted his confidence and followed it up with stops from Dallas and Costa, with the Dallas one probably the pick of the bunch Photo: Simon Bellis
2. Chris Basham - 7
Did brilliantly to clear off the line in the second half, even if there was a slight heart-in-mouth moment as he shifted to clear it on his right foot just a few yards away from the open goal Photo: Simon Bellis
3. Ethan Ampadu - 7
Made his full Premier League debut for the Blades with John Egan suspended, and showed he wasn't afraid to bring the ball out of defence. Took a painful blow when Rodrigo's shot hit him flush in the face Photo: Simon Bellis
4. Jack Robinson - 7
Will get the chance now to make the role his own with O'Connell sidelined and showed what he is capable of here. Almost scored the winner from a corner, but his effort trickled just wide Photo: OLI SCARFF
