Chelsea player ratings: N’Golo Kante, Antonio Rudiger carry the Blues on

6.5. Moses had a rather nondescript game. He provided a useful relief to switch the play from left to right, but once he brought down the ball Chelsea did not do much with the opportunity. Moses and Willian did not have their communication in sync on Sunday, weakening the right side even if they were making individually strong plays. And, as always, plenty of crosses into the first man.<br />. 15. Nigeria. VICTOR MOSES

5. Well, his return to the starting XI went better than his last start. This time Bakayoko made it all the way through the first half before taking a seat. Antonio Conte called this a “precaution,” but it is unclear if it was a fitness precaution, a disciplinary precaution (Bakayoko received a yellow card just before the whistle) or a tactical precaution. He was not awful, but he was not at the necessary level. Fabregas was not the right man for the rest of the game, though, so perhaps Chelsea may have had a stronger second half if Bakayoko had stayed on.<br />. 14. France. TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO

9.5. N’Golo Kante teamed up with Eden Hazard to resolve all questions about which Chelsea players is / are world-class and truly irreplaceable. N’Golo Kante is both. Kante was god-like at his former home, both omniscient and omnipresent. At times, he was nearly omnipotent. His timing, tackles, interceptions, runs, passes, key passes and even take-ons were far above anyone on the pitch. His overall control of the game was above most players in Europe. Chelsea can buy another No. 10, another goalkeeper or another striker. There is no other N’Golo Kante. Don’t believe us? Ask Leicester.<br />. 7. France. N'GOLO KANTE

7.5. The story of Marcos Alonso’s first season at wing-back was how thoroughly he controlled Chelsea’s left flank. His defence, aerial sharpness and crosses into the box catapulted him from obscure journeyman left-back to top-flight wing-back. His evolution this season has come from knowing when to move off the flanks and move into the centre of the box. Either Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata often come out to the left side. Alonso is recognizing more options than running an overlap or offering them an outlet for a one-two. He will drive into the box, particularly when Chelsea are arriving into the zone, to create a new offensive option. He then recovers back to where he is needed to guard the play in the other direction. If he somehow ends up in Spain’s World Cup squad, it will be among Antonio Conte’s greatest triumphs.<br />. 3. Spain. MARCOS ALONSO
