WANDERERS 4-4-3

JUSSI JAASKELAINEN 6
His impressive reaction save from McCulloch came at a crucial time with Wanderers leading 2-1.

NICKY HUNT 7
Enjoyed a good contest with McCulloch, who has posed many problems in past meetings.

ABDOULAYE FAYE 7
Impressively versatile, after his success in midfield against Sheffield Utd, he was solid at centre back.

ABDOULAYE MEITE 7
Heskey and Folan then Camara . . . they all pose different threats, but he dealt with them all convincingly.

TAL BEN HAIM 5
Withdrawn after struggling to cope with Valencia's pace: Gardner's introduction at 1-0 made all the difference.

DAVID THOMPSON 7
Brought energy and a competitive edge to the midfield against his old club before limping off with a knock.

GARY SPEED 7
Showed all his experience, holding things together in a much improved midfield performance.

ANDRANIK 8
Super-fit and super-charged, he was dynamic in midfield but it was his instinctive finishing that won the game.

KEVIN DAVIES 7
Not the usual Davies performance but effective nonetheless; did particularly well to beat Baines to set up Andranik's second.

NICOLAS ANELKA 7
Gardner's arrival gave him opportunities to raid on the left, where he prospered; missed one chance but still bagged his 11th of the season.

EL-HADJI DIOUF 8
Had his "tormentor-in-chief" hat on again; missed a great chance but his part in Andranik's first was breathtaking.

Subs: Ricardo Gardner (7) for Ben Haim 35 mins, Idan Tal for Thompson 73 mins, Stelios for Anelka 88 mins.

Not used: Henrik Pedersen, Ali Al-Habsi.
