ENG first half analysis

Foster: Good save from Borges' free kick and has taken the ball well in the air.

Wilshere: Made some good passes forward but also runs into dead ends.

Milner: Has beaten his man twice, good delivery.

Barkley: Bursts of acceleration and dribbling, but very slow to release the ball.

Lallana: Not on the ball enough.
