Espanyol 3-0 Almeria: Player ratings as Los Periquitos continue superb winning streak

Kiko Casilla 6

Dealt comfortably with everything Almeria had to throw at him, which wasn't that much anyway. 

Javi Lopez 7

His manager will have no complaints, tidy and efficient. Doesn't get forward a lot but isn't asked to either. 

Alvaro 6

Has shown himself to be a reliable customer since arriving in the summer, and today was no different. 

Hector Moreno 7

A couple of dodgy clearances aside, was composed at the back, making a few good challenges. 

Juan Fuentes 6

Solid performance but must be wary that Duarte, who has performed impressively recently, doesn't outshine him when given the chance. Handled Edgar Mendes well. 

JA Canas 6

Not quite as accurate as usual but kept the ball moving and Espanyol ticking. 

Abraham 6

Played some fine passes in the first half, but tired in the second and was replaced after an hour.

Salva Sevilla 6

Performed his midfield role well, although didn't sparkle particularly.

Lucas Vazquez 6

Mis-hit the ball perfectly into Stuani's path for Espanyol's second goal. Has spark, but it needs to be channeled better than it was today. 

Sergio Garica 8

Created the first for Stuani with hard work down the right and played a large part in the second. Went close himself with a shot which hit the side netting. 

Christian Stuani 7

Consolidated his place as the top scoring Uruguayan in Barcelona this season with a quick-fire double towards the end of the first half. One a close-range header, the other a tap-in from a similar position.

SUBS

Victor Sanchez 7

His energy was needed after the break and in an impressive display he also created the third goal, playing in Caicedo. Helped out the defence too. 

Felipe Caicedo 7

Is in a goal glut and came up with another one just minutes after his introduction, showing great strength to hold off the defender and a cool head to tuck it home.
