Chelsea player ratings vs Arsenal: Five players bag 3/10 in humbling 3-1 defeat

Kepa Arrizabalaga-4

Made a good save to deny Granit Xhaka in the second half but ultimately his ratings has been affected by conceding three goals. Looked clumsy from corners and was saved by a goal-line clearance from Thiago Silva.

Cesar Azpilicueta-3

He got away with one early on after an attempted header to his goalkeeper but didn't have the needed power. He just can’t defend these days. Partly at fault for Gabriel Jesus's goal.

Ben Chiwell-4.5

Got Chelsea’s first shot on target in the game. Tried to play on the front foot in the second half.

Wesley Fofana-5

Won his individual battles but collectively was one of four defenders who just didn't work as a unit.

Thiago Silva-5

Thiago suffered from a heavy collision early in the game. Not that he could do much to stop the team from falling apart in the first half. Brilliantly cleared off the line early in the second half to keep the scoreline respectable.

Mateo Kovacic-3

Mateo is lacking form at the moment. Just doesn't take charge of games like he used to.

N’Golo Kante-5

A bright spot in a midfield three for the crumbling Blues, but not even he could save his team from the embarrassment of the first half at the Emirates.

Enzo Fernandez-4.5

The World Cup winner is having a tough start to life in the Premier League and fair to say he was part of a midfield three that just never got going. He’s come into an underperforming team but there are just moments in the game you think he could just be a bit more aggressive and assertive.

Raheem Sterling-3

Sterling is rightfully one of the best players in Premier League history, but he barely looks close to that player anymore. His game was highlighted by misplaced passes and his inability to beat his man.

Aubameyang-3

Started his first game under Frank Lampard and took him almost 30 minutes for him to get his first touch inside the Arsenal half. He had nine touches in the first half.

Noni Madueke-5

Had urgency and will, but you could really count the number of times he touched the ball in the first half. Scored his first goal for Chelsea to reduce the deficit.

Kai Havertz-4

Performed better than Aubameyang with his off-the-ball movement, but just like Aubameyang, he was starved of service.

Conor Gallagher-4

Pressed well when he came on and always looked to play a forward pass.

Mykhailo Mudryk-3

Came close to joining Arsenal in January before choosing Chelsea but not even he would have anticipated the chasm between the two teams at the moment. Looked focused and sharp on the few occasions he was on the ball.

Hakim Ziyech- N/A
