Throughout every Premiership match, Sofascore provide a match rating to each player and compile a ‘Team of the Week’ according to data – here are their choices from last weekend.
9. Danny Lafferty (Ballymena United)
Danny Lafferty was barely on the pitch for 20 minutes, but Sofascore have him in their 'Team of the Week' because of his impact. The former Northern Ireland international rocketed home a late effort which rescued a point and also played an important role in defence, making three clearances. Photo: Andrew McCarroll

Ballymena's Success Edogun did everything but score on Saturday. He caused Crusaders constant trouble with his strength, pace and hold-up play, while the striker also registered a whopping 14 shots, including six on target - all denied by Jonny Tuffey. Photo: Pacemaker
