Ezekiel Kwame Alladoh, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.86

Alejandro Bedoya falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
