Michael Kayode recorded 4 tackles, doubling Ethan Pinnock and Yegor Yarmolyuk (2 each). His persistent defensive challenges disrupted attacks, though the match finished 2–0.
How is the rating calculated?
The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
