JAMIE CUMMING
Made a couple of solid saves to help keep his fourth clean sheet in the last eight league games – 7.5
PETER KIOSO
Sloppy infield pass presented a chance for Andrew Moran, but the right back improved in the second half. BOOKED – 6.5
MICHAL HELIK
Has slotted into the back four like he’s been at the club for years. An impressive January signing – 7.5
CIARON BROWN
Incredibly consistent and surely the lead candidate for the U’s player of the season. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8
GREG LEIGH
Drove a cross into the near post at the end of the first half, forcing Viktor Johansson into a good save – 7.5
WILL VAULKS
Solid afternoon in the midfield battle against the competitive duo Lewis Baker and Wouter Burger – 7
CAMERON BRANNAGAN
Stinging left-footed strike forced Johansson into a strong save in the first half. BOOKED – 7.5
PRZEMYSLAW PLACHETA
A threat in the first half when getting in behind, but just couldn’t make it count with either a goal or a killer pass – 7
RUBEN RODRIGUES
Quiet afternoon and often struggled to get involved when United were in the final third – 6.5
SIRIKI DEMBELE
Created an opportunity for Tom Bradshaw in the second half with a clever through pass – 7
TOM BRADSHAW
Johansson got out quickly to smother his effort when played through by Dembele. BOOKED – 6.5
SUBSTITUTIONS
Alex Matos (for Rodrigues, 65)
Provides plenty of energy when he comes on as a substitute. BOOKED – 6.5
Tyler Goodrham (for Dembele, 65)
Struggled to get involved and a little bit isolated on his return from three-match ban – 6
Mark Harris (for Bradshaw, 65)
Nothing to really feed on after his introduction from the bench – 6
Ole Romeny (for Vaulks, 79)
Matt Phillips (for Placheta, 88)
