Benny Ashley-Seal scored the only goal of the game as Vale lost goalkeeper Lucas Covolan to a second-half red card. Here are our player ratings from Sixfields. ..
13. Shaun McWilliams
Tightened things up for the final 20 or so minutes. Stopped Vale getting much joy through the middle and even went close to scoring, denied by a flying save... 6.5
14. Ali Koiki
Only on for 15 minutes but he was electric off the bench. First contribution was to set up McWilliams with quick feet and led two other storming counter-attacks. Will be fun to watch this season... 7
