Kobbie Mainoo also attracted significant attention from supporters, with 12 per cent of the vote.
On another day, the young midfielder would have had an assist himself for a pinpoint delivery to Casemiro’s head, which the Brazilian was able to nod home in his stride, but a VAR review showed the scorer had strayed marginally offside.
Case took 10 per cent of the poll himself, not only for that disallowed goal but also for a characteristic all-action display in the centre of the park, which saw him win the most duels (8) of any player on the pitch.
He received the fourth-highest vote, with Bruno Fernandes slotting in at third with 11 per cent, our captain, once again, proving to be a chance-creation machine with four opportunities made, the most of anyone on the night.
