Chelsea player ratings vs Manchester United: ‘sloppy’ 4/10 but ‘outstanding’ 8/10 in entertaining draw

Moises Caicedo scored an outstanding goal to cancel out a Bruno Fernandes penalty and help Chelsea secure a draw in the Premier League. The Blues came into the game as favourites, but United had Ruud van Nistelrooy in charge after they sacked Erik ten Hag, so the players had a point to prove.

Chelsea's encounters at Old Trafford are always tight, and this match was no different, with both teams canceling each other out. On what was an entertaining game, here’s how we rated the Chelsea players:

Robert Sanchez - 6 Made a few routine saves in the first half. Then gave away the penalty.

Malo Gusto - 4 The beauty of Malo Gusto is that he has the heart and legs to push into midfield, but his passing needs to improve in critical positions. He was sloppy in some moments and was hooked at half time.

Reece James - 5 The Chelsea captain started his third straight league game and has barely put a foot wrong, but this was a tough match for him.

Levi Colwill - 6 Survived what looked like a serious injury in the first half.

Wesley Fofana - 6 A shaky start to the game was followed by a really strong showing in the air.

Moises Caicedo - 8 The main man in midfield, he played very well. Scored an outstanding goal to help Chelsea to a draw.

Romeo Lavia - 6 His passing and general use of the ball were very good, but he seemed to tire as the game entered its final phase.

Cole Palmer - 6 Played in midfield but, as always, carried the threat for the entire team. He’s so good he was taking out players with just one touch of the ball.

Noni Madueke - 6 Missed a good chance in the first half, but to be fair, he got distracted by his teammate when they both went for the same ball.

Nicolas Jackson - 6 Displayed brilliant hold-up play and used the ball wisely when he had it.

Pedro Neto - 6 He wasn’t as explosive as in the previous game, but he had a brilliant shot that narrowly missed the post.

Marc Cucurella - 6 Tasked to do the same job as Gusto, he made a solid contribution.
