- (6) – Gollini – Little to do today & not much he could do for Cardiff’s goal. Flapped at more than one cross, which remains cause for concern. Otherwise untroubled.
- (6) – Hutton – A steady performance & coped well with threat down the right flank. Limited success going forward.
- (8) – Chester – Another impressive performance. Controlled & commanding.
- (7) – Baker – A solid first half performance until forced off with a groin strain.
- (6) – Elphick – SUB – Replaced injured Baker and had a solid 45 minutes. A strong leader but distribution can let him down at times.

- (8) – Amavi – A fine performance and further evidence of the Frenchman’s true quality. A first half assist was capped with a solid defensive display.
- (9) – Jedinak – MOTM – Marauding display of power and presence over 90 minutes. Countless interceptions, clearances, headers won and disruption to the opposition.
- (6) – Westwood – A busy and hard working performance was marred by a poor touch in the first half to gift Cardiff a goal. Quality & confidence remain a question mark.
- (7) Adomah – Another impressive display, providing a constant threat out wide. Grew into the game and finished his chance coolly. Fatigued as game wore on.
- 6 – Gestede – SUB – Hard working when introduced but found chances limited.
- (8) – Grealish – Increased in effectiveness as the game approached the latter stages. Visitors unable to cope with movement and tricky interplay.
- (5) – Ayew – Lots of running and time on the ball amounted to little. An ineffective performance that saw him subbed on the hour.

- (6) – Agbonlahor – SUB – Guilty of indecision when one on one with the keeper, resulting in a miss. Looked sharper than most recent outings & gave defence something to think about.
- (8) – Kodjia – Another tireless performance & a fine headed goal. Always a threat on the ball & drives the team forward relentlessly.
