Wales On Sunday

How they rated

-

ANDY FISHER

Recovered well after spilling an early Sam McCallum strike but had a comfortabl­e afternoon in the sun after that. Knew when to play with the ball at his feet but was willing to take a low-risk approach too when required. Another fine effort and a clean sheet.

JOEL LATIBEAUDI­ERE

Brilliant in his preferred right-back role and planted his header beyond Angus Gunn to give the Swans the lead. Excellent marauding run soon after in what was a wonderful showing which included plenty of tackles and blocks.

BEN CABANGO

9 9 Wonderfull­y composed in possession, as you’d expect by now given his remarkable developmen­t this season. Played a part in his side’s second goal too. The guy is brilliant.

Rock solid in defence once again and didn’t give the likes of Josh Sargent and Adam Idah – who was subbed after his side’s red card – a sniff. Made plenty of clearances and was typically assured on the ball too. Sublime challenge on Sargent in the first half, by the way!

NATHAN WOOD MATT GRIMES

The orchestrat­or in the middle of the park, Grimes fully enjoyed himself in the Norfolk sunshine, particular­ly after the Canaries went down to 10 men. Made his share of defensive contributi­ons but was excellent on the ball. Took a cynical (clever...) yellow card in the second half for his troubles.

OLIVIER NTCHAM

8 The Cameroon internatio­nal linked up well with Manning on the left and always looked to be direct when carrying the ball. Contribute­d a number of tackles too, such was his all-round effort. Did ever so well to beat two men before prodding home his side’s third goal.

? 8 Showed so much guile on the ball, threading a fine pass through to

Jamie Paterson but got the assist he deserved for Ntcham in the second half.

LUKE CUNDLE JAMIE PATERSON

Dragged an effort wide in the first-half but played a huge part in his side’s second goal. Oozed confidence in possession in another good showing. Withdrawn.

JOEL PIROE

Didn’t really have anything in the way of chances but his efforts, particular­ly in possession, ensured Swansea dominated.

LIAM CULLEN

Spurned a fine one-on-one opportunit­y but headed home his ninth of the season soon after. Brilliant run led to McCallum’s red card in what was a wonderful showing. Subbed.
