Van de Beek voted Man of the Match

The Reds progressed to the fourth round thanks to goals from Juan Mata, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, but it was our summer signing who fans picked out as the standout man at Kenilworth Road.

After his goalscoring debut as a substitute in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace, the Dutchman made his first competitive start for the Reds in the third-round tie, and played in a no.10 role.

The 23-year-old linked much of the play for the visitors throughout the game and, in particular, combined well with Mata on several occasions, including a dummy from our no.
