Below are our player ratings for Chelsea's performance:
Filip Jorgensen - 7
Produced a brilliant save early in the game to keep the score at 0-0. He was visibly frustrated when they conceded late, as he wanted that clean sheet.
Axel Disasi - 8
Very vocal and authoritative in a game where he needed to be at his best. He would be disappointed they couldn’t secure a clean sheet.
Benoît Badiashile - 7
Played at the heart of a three-man defence and did well overall, though the lack of a clean sheet remains a concern.
Renato Veiga - 7
Versatile as always, he played in multiple positions, from right back to left back, and even as a midfielder.
Pedro Neto - 7
Not as influential as he was against Liverpool, but he was clinical and demanding. Assisted Mudryk's goal.
Enzo Fernandez - 8
Controlled the game effectively without being put under much pressure. His long passes caused numerous problems for the hosts.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 8
Heavily involved in the first two goals and would have loved to get on the scoresheet himself.
Marc Cucurella - 8
An efficient game without needing to do too much. Remarkably, he was close to earning a 10 in some assessments.
Mykhailo Mudryk - 9
Assisted Felix’s first goal, then scored one and provided another assist. He was outstanding throughout.
Joao Felix - 10
Created and finished his first goal, then got a bit lucky for the second. His performance was perfect, and he deserved a hat trick.
Christopher Nkunku - 7
Largely anonymous in the first half and needs to work on being more involved. Managed to score from the spot.
Tyrique George - 6
Brought energy to the game when he came on.
Marc Guiu - 6
He looked bright but just couldn't get his goal.
