Corridor specifically had a really robust activity going up towards the most effective wingers on the league in Bukayo Saka, however the younger left-back hardly gave him an inch all recreation.
The identical goes for Livramento who saved Martinelli extremely quiet in a masterclass of one-vs-one defending, although Shearer as an alternative opted to go for Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez at full-back as an alternative.
