Another underwhelming display

Just like Lukaku, simply not good enough. The talented Chilean has not looked the same player since his surprise swap move from Arsenal in January and again here, he struggled.

Part of the blame should be pointed towards Jose, whose insistence on him tracking back more than usual leaves him caught in two minds on whether or not to accelerate forward with the same vigour he did in north London.

He completed two dribbles but was dispossessed on five occasions, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise given his high risk, high reward playing style. His three key passes were only bettered by Rodrigo and Pogba (both 4), but that does not excuse his general passing range as his passing accuracy (69.4%) was the lowest of any outfield starter across both sides. Was replaced with 15 minutes to play, to some ironic jeers and looks a player bereft of confidence. Grim.
