Chelsea player ratings: Sterling 8/10 and plenty 7/10s in nervy 1-0 Leeds United win

Kepa Arrizabalaga-6

Great save in the second half to deny Aaronson a tap in even though the referee eventually called it for an offside. His passing was class and composure was really good from set pieces too.

Benoit Badiashile-7

The French defender is settling in well at Stamford Bridge, he was at the centre of the Chelsea build up from the back and was almost unbeatable from set pieces.

Enzo-5

The Argentine was aggressive and and pressed well when Chelsea were without the ball. He could have forced things a bit more with direct balls to the feet of the attackers.

Mateo Kovacic- 6

Mateo was really good today, his passing and aggression was crucial to the progression of the ball and tackled well when his team was under pressure.

Joao Felix-5

Hit the cross bar from a sweeping Chelsea move he started himself, really clean strike there with great technique. He still drifts in and out of games, with his ability he should be giving more to this team.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek-5

Started at right wing-back and was strong defensively, faded and withdrawn late on.

Raheem Sterling-8

Sterling started the game brilliantly and set up both Havertz and Joao Felix with chances they really should be taking. Used his speed and experience to good effect, unlucky not to have scored as it was one of his best games.

Ben Chilwell-7

Brilliant start to the game with crosses and on the front foot football. He really does play for the badge and looked really concerned when the game was all level in the first half.

Kalidou Koulibaly-7

The Senegal international started at the centre of a three man defence and produced a really strong defensive display. His anticipation was spot on whenever Leeds tried to create something.

Kai Havertz-6

Should have scored after being played through in the first half. Really good with his off the ball movement but if he could finish Chelsea would have been out of sight in the first half.

Wesley Fofana- 8

Headed wide from a corner early on, booked after bringing down Summerville cynically, before smashing the ball with his head to give his side the much needed win. The relief was palpable. His second goal since joining Chelsea in the summer.

Conor Gallagher -5

Added aggression and bite to the midfield.

Carney Chukwuemeka- 5

A lot of running and tracking back.

Chukwunonso Madueke- 5

Full of running and will.

Denis Zakaria- 4

Surpsingly could not hold on to the ball and take pressure of his team late on.
