Coming on in the 63rd minute for Gabby Jesus it was good to see the guy get a goal. The season hasn’t featured the Portuguese man too much but this will help.

Competent in the midfield, hardly gives the ball away. Yes, maybe it is easier coming on when you are 6-2 up but it’s going to be hard to unseat some of the starting eleven. Bernardo did himself no harm with his half an hour of game-time.
