HOWARD: Good distribution and given no chance with Didier Drogba’s equaliser but could possibly have done better with Frank Lampard’s winner. 6
TONY HIBBERT: Commitment and combative spirit will only get you so far and against the class of Florent Malouda was completely out of his depth.
With little help from Leon Osman he was booked early on before being hauled off at half-time. 4
LEIGHTON BAINES: Limited Nicholas Anelka’s threat but offered little in attack and his supply line, so key to Everton’s attacking threat, was in barely in evidence. 6
JOSEPH YOBO: Steady but found Drogba a permanent worry and was often reduced to thrashing aimless long balls. 6
JOLEON LESCOTT: Showed his usual strength and power but crucially out of position for Drogba’s leveller. 6
PHIL NEVILLE: Several crunching tackles raised supporters spirits but allowed Lampard too much space to score the winner. Nevertheless typically characteristic display. 7
