Miss match maybe, but then it shows our lack of cover in CM.
Cresswell was the main man covering Antonio (and for the most part did an absolutely stellar job in a very physical competition). Cracked record maybe, but had he had a few more games under his belt he might have known/anticipated what Antonio would do on the break (he nearly intercepted at the death). As it is, he and Shackleton were amongst the better performers, just a shame they didn't come out in the winning side.
