Spain vs Northern Ireland Player ratings from Saturdays friendly in
The hosts ran out comfortable winners in the end at the Son Moix Stadium

It was a tough night for Northern Ireland in Palma as they were put to the sword by Spain. The hosts bounced back from conceding an early goal to run out 5-1 winners in the end.

Here are our player ratings for Northern Ireland:

Bailey Peacock-Farrell 7

The goalkeeper was under immense pressure all night and made several important saves

Conor Bradley 6

An unusually quiet night for the Liverpool man as part of a midfield four

Trai Hume 6

The fullback was tested all night by the impressive Nico Williams

Daniel Ballard 7

Scored a great header but had to deal with a relentless Spanish attack at the other end

Jonny Evans 6

It was great to have the captain back again but he had his hands full all night

Eoin Toal 6

Wa part of the back three in the first half who had so much pressure to deal with

Jamie Reid 6

Didn't see a lot of the ball, worked hard up front on his own

Isaac Price 6

Mixed night for Price as he had two great chances to score and gave the ball away for Spain's fifth

Jamal Lewis 6

We didn't get to see much of Lewis going forward as Spain pegged Northern Ireland back

Caolan Boyd-Munce 6

Not the result he would have hoped for on his debut

Shea Charles 6

Had to spend most of the night in his own half as the hosts dominated proceedings

Subs:

McMenamin 5 [for Price, 83]

Taylor 6 [for Reid, 66]

C Evans 6 [for Boyd-Munce, 46]

Thompson 6 [for Toal, 46]

McCausland 6 [for Bradley, 66]

Spencer 6 [for Hume, 77]

Man of the Match

Lamine Yamal

The 16-year-old produced a performance beyond his years
