Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof were quite impressive after that goal went in. They held their ground well with Lindelof being the standout performer for the team with some brilliant defending and solid forward passing of the ball.
However, their positioning in the first quarter of the game was quite poor. They allowed far too much space between each other and Dybala was always looking to attack the space they were leaving behind. This ultimately resulted in the game's only goal.
Lindelof is growing in confidence and looks like he has it in him to repay Mourinho's faith. But they can't let these mistakes keep happening.
