Impact Leno had a tough time in goal as he was under constant pressure with their team down to 10 men early in the contest. This led to the goalkeeper allowing three goals in the second half, despite making seven saves in the contest. Next in the Premier League, he'll face off against Burnley, the team with the second lowest goal amount this season.

Calvin Bassey - Should be option Tuesday Bassey (illness) will "probably be available for Tuesday's Cup match against Everton, according to manager Marco Silva.

Impact Bassey was a surprise absence Saturday with an illness which forced Issa Diop into the starting XI even though Silva said he probably wasn't ready. It's bad news for Bassey, as he figures to return to a bench role despite starting the prior eight league matches. Diop and Tosin Adarabioyo missed time with injuries, so when everyone is healthy, Bassey will likely return to the bench.
