Man of the Match: Isco
There is no doubt that Isco deserves man of the match in this one. And WhoScored agrees, giving the Spanish midfielder a perfect 10 rating, his first of the season.
Completing 94% of his passes, taking 10 stunning dribbles, winning 1 tackle, and taking 2 shots and scoring on both of them, including the winner. What makes this performance even more impressive is the way in which he scored both of his goals. The first, was a great individual effort, knifing through the Sporting defense, beating three defenders to score.
The second goal, was also a beauty, as Isco let a long shot go from just outside the box, shooting it through the legs of Sporting center back Babin. It was simply a flawless performance from the midfielder.
