2. Seamus Coleman - 5
Showed his experience at times, but caught out on occasions. Wasted one crossing opportunity in the first half. Subbed in the 75th minute. Photo: Michael Regan/Getty Images
3. James Tarkowski - 6
Resolute throughout and made a fine block early on.
4. Conor Coady - 6
Made a few sound clearances but maybe slow off the mark and allowed Ronaldo too much space to shoot. Photo: Michael Regan/Getty Images
