Hide AdBarely had a decent save to make in the first half. The impressive thing about his display was how he dealt with everything with incredible assuredness.
Levi Colwill - 7
One of the best-performing Chelsea players again. His strength and aggressiveness provide a solid foundation for Chelsea. You can see him come alive when defending.
Wesley Fofana - 5
Nearly gave away a penalty after holding onto Summerville. Really lucky there but had a tough outing against Summerville throughout, especially being played out of position at right back.
Tosin Adarabioyo - 7
Calm and assured in his build-up play. Communicated well to organize the backline. He’s incredibly underrated and made things look so easy.
Marc Cucurella - 6

Hide AdStepped into midfield during Chelsea's build-up play. Gave away a few chances here and there but, overall, played well.
Enzo Fernandez - 6
Drafted straight into the action, but his passing was inconsistent at times.
Moises Caicedo - 7
Dropped into defense when in possession and tackled very well when needed. Incredible strength and stamina throughout the game. He’s beginning to dominate his opponents.
Cole Palmer - 7
Unlucky not to score in the first half but made up for it with a goal in the second. His second goal of the season, and he was clearly thrilled.
Noni Madueke - 6

Hide AdQuiet first half, but more forceful in the second. He could have had an assist if he had played Neto through in the second half.
Jadon Sancho - 5
Provided an assist but went missing after that.
Nicolas Jackson - 9
Brilliant brace and an assist. Man of the Match. Sensational performance.
Axel Disasi - 5
Solid but unspectacular performance.
Joao Felix - 5
Managed to get a shot away, but it feels like he needs a goal to boost his confidence.
Neto - 5
Quiet after coming on.
Christopher Nkunku - 5
Led the line well and set up Felix for a chance he should have converted.
