10. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (Striker): 5.5/10
Just like Kai Havertz, Aubameyang couldn’t influence the game much even though
the Gabon international got into goal-scoring positions. A few opportunities did
emerge for the striker, but he couldn’t take them. But Aubameyang got a strong
reception from the home fans after being substituted.

11. Raheem Sterling (Left Winger): 9/10
Raheem Sterling playing on the wing was hugging the line in this system looked ever
more dangerous to the opponent’s defense as that afforded him more space. The
England international was again the best-attacking player for Chelsea on the pitch and scored the goal with a beautifully curled effort. Sterling could also have finished again, but was unfortunately overthinking decisions when in the opponent’s box.

12. Armando Broja (Striker): 7/10
Armando Broja came on for Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in the 66 th minute and from
the get-go was involved in the attacking play making darting runs through the
Salzburg defense. Broja could have been the hero for the night but missed a great
chance in the box to win Chelsea the game, shooting his effort high and wide in the
stoppage time.

13. Ruben Loftus Cheek (Attacking Midfielder): 6/10
Ruben Loftus Cheek came on for Kai Havertz in the 66 th minute and was instructed to
play behind Broja and did well to influence the by using his physicality to hold up the
ball and draw in fouls.

14. Connor Gallagher (Central Midfielder): 6/10
Connor Gallagher came on for Mateo Kovacic in the 81 st minute and progressed the
ball forward well whenever given the chance and tried to be involved in the game
but couldn’t influence the game much.

15. Hakim Ziyech (Right Winger): 6/10
Hakim Ziyech came on for Cesar Azpilicueta in the 82 nd minute and was instantly
involved in the game, coming ever so close to giving CFC the lead from his first
touch only for the goalkeeper to make a good save. Ziyech was heavily involved in
the dying minutes of the game but was very wasteful when given the chance to
finish the game off.

Must Read. Important Chelsea star unhappy with contract offer. light

16. Christian Pulisic (Left Winger): 5/10
Christian Pulisic came on for Raheem Sterling in the 84 th minute and barely had any
impact on the game.
