Negatives
  • Dropping first points of season
  • Questionable reaction by Torres to being subbed off
  • Poor finishing

MOTM: Ryan Nelsen (QPR)
  • Was not an obvious pick to some but in a match where both defenses were on top of things and strikers were poor, the MOTM was likely to be a CB
  • Statistically most tackles, most aerials won, no fouls, so a solid performance
  • 89 % Passing accuracy
  • 67 % Aerials won
  • 57 touches
