Mason Mount (Right winger): 5/10

Mason Mount had a very mixed match. He drifted in and out of the game and he wasn’t majorly involved in any of the little attacks Chelsea tried to create. In the first half, early on, Mount struggled. However, as the game went on, it seemed the English international got a hang of things. Unfortunately, his effort was saved by Meslier, and that was as good as it got. For the remainder of the game, Mount tried—but failed—to assert any kind of influence on the game.

Kai Havertz (Center forward): 4/10

The German international was by far the most disappointing player on the pitch for Chelsea in the eyes of many. Kai Havertz was anonymous for almost all of the game and he provided no threat to the Leeds back line. In the second half, the wunderkind connected the play a bit better with the front three, but to no good avail. In the past two seasons, we have seen that Havertz starts his scoring for the season late. Now, with a talented player like Armando Broja waiting on the wings, it feels like the Albanian international should be given a chance to impress.

Raheem Sterling (Left winger): 6/10

Raheem Sterling was by far the most dangerous player for Chelsea in the final third, troubling the Leeds back line regularly. The England international came close to scoring very early on, but just missed the target. When Sterling did put the ball back into the net, he was rightly ruled offside by fine margins. For the third game in a row, Sterling was the best attacker for the club without anything to show for it. Hopefully he carries his form and gets his much deserved reward.
