Defence

6. <p>Good start to the game, forcing Adrian into a brilliant save. Decent overall performance but his lack of pace is found out when he pushes too far forwards.</p>. RB. Serbia. BRANISLAV IVANOVIC

6.5. <p>Solid, unspectacular game. Had a decent headed chance which went wide. His (and Cahill’s) lack of pace will get caught out against faster, better strikers.</p>. CB. England. JOHN TERRY

6.5. <p>A couple of necessary last ditch tackles, dealt with Andy Carroll well. Could claim to have been fouled for West Ham’s goal but needed to be stronger.</p>. CB. England. GARY CAHILL

7. <p>One of his best attacking performances in a while, and as usual the Spaniard was great defensively. Won the penalty and provided Eden Hazard with an outlet and overlap.</p>. LB. Spain. CESAR AZPILICUETA
