West Brom player ratings: Debutants shine in Rotherham win

Deserved a clean sheet after a fine reaction save to keep out Paul Mullin’s shot. Denied it when Fabio Tavares struck late on.

Save: 7

NOLAN GALVES

An encouraging debut for the Frenchman, who completed 90 minutes for the first time since joining the club. Tougher tests ahead.

Lively: 7

NAT PHILLIPS

Produced an excellent block early in the second half to deny Mullin as Rotherham enjoyed their best spell of the afternoon. A steady presence.

Block: 7

GEORGE CAMPBELL

Will have much tougher days than this. Maybe guilty of switching off a bit early in the second half as Rotherham upped their game.

Steady: 6

CALLUM STYLES

Given licence to advance as Isaac Price spent much of the first half tucked in. Delivered a fine cross for Morgan’s second.

Cross: 7

ALEX MOWATT

Neat and tidy stuff from the midfielder, who took the armband for the first competitive match of the season. Used the ball well.

Tidy: 6

OUSMANE DIAKITE

Had such a physical advantage over Rotherham’s midfield, it was almost unfair. Showed a nice range of passing at times.

Imposing: 8

HARRY WHITWELL

An excellent opening 45 minutes which saw him create a goal and score for the first time in the senior ranks. Looks a promising player.

Buzzing: 7

ISAAC PRICE

Perhaps not as incisive as Whitwell and Morgan but he was involved in the build-up to second and unfortunate not to score.

Passing: 7

JIMMY-JAY MORGAN

Something of a dream debut for the summer signing, who scored twice and was a general nuisance. More to come.

Goals: 8

AUNE HEGGEBO

A frustrating day in front of goal for the Norwegian, yet he played an unheralded role in the opener and never stopped working.

Effort: 6
