My MOTM for sure. He's actually elegant in his defending, not at all a klutz like his facial expressions would suggest.

Hmm I actually think he should have done better for their chance at the end, and he got skinned once by Mahrez. Still, a good performance.

Now dont you go and fecking get injured playing for England you lovable oaf.

Just imagine what level this guy would have been on by now if he didn't have injury problems.

Absolute rock today.

Outstanding performance from both Jones and Bailly today. I think this partnership has the potential to become something really special.

Blind leaving him exposed on his weaker side caused few troubles but Class again overall.

Him and Baily are great athletes vs these Counter attacking teams.

Jones was superb in the second half. That tackle on Mahrez was awesome!

Rashford got my MotM, but it was a close one — apart from one moment with Mahrez Jones was fantastic. Even made some of those runs that he used to do regularly when we just signed him.

Excellent performance and great defender. Let's all hope he keeps fit.

No way was caught out of position a couple if times and Mahrez had him on his ass very easily

That was fortunate. He didn't get skinned. Jones made a clean looking tackle on Mahrez and the ball sort of deflected back off Jones into the path of Mahrez again.

Hmm I may have to watch it again then. Very poor quality stream.

Think he did particularly well intercepting all those little floated ball they tried from midfield. Vardy had nothing to run into and the ones he did De Gea came out and claimed easily.

A base camp for the last, final assault
Had Vardy in his pocket today. Not a mistake in him defensively and he also did a good job at distributing the ball to feet. The key for him, as it has always been, will be to stay fit. Needs a 30+ game season, preferably 40+.
