Won\u2019t grab the headlines but was solid again. <\/p>\n<p>Reo Hatate \u2013 9<\/p>\n<p>There has been a lot of criticism about Hatate\u2019s performances this season but tonight was one of those where he was back to his best. Played a part in both first half goals and controlled everything from the middle of the park. More of that please, Reo.<\/p>\n<p>        Watch as Reo Hatate takes advantage of the Feyenoord mistake!       Arne Engels \u2013 6 <\/p>\n<p>Some decent moments here and there.
