1. Kepa Arrizabalaga (Goalkeeper): 5/10

The Spaniard couldn’t really be blamed much for the first goal as the effort was deflected away from him but the second goal was probably down to him not making up his mind whether to collect the ball or stay back but in the end found himself in no mans land.

2. Kalidou Koulibaly (Centerback): 5/10

The Senegalese international did score the scrappy goal to get Chelsea level but his performance was again filled with bad passes and giving the ball away in dangerous positions, bringing unnecessary pressure on the backline. It just doesn’t look like Koulibaly will come good at CFC.

3. Thiago Silva (Centerback): 6/10

The veteran was again one of the better defenders in the backline and did well in intercepting balls and breaking down Fulham’s game but his one error of not properly keeping an eye out for Vinicius lead to the goal which confirmed another defeat for the Blues. Yet it was more of Chalobah’s fault rather than Silva’s.

4. Trevoh Chalobah (Centerback): 3/10

By far the worst performance from Chalobah ever in a Chelsea shirt. Throughout the game, Trevoh Chalobah put the Chelsea defense in pressure due to his horrendous passes one of which resulted in Fulham striking the bar early on. Then for the first goal it was him through which the ball went inside after being deflected and for the second goal his lack of man marking left Vinicius free to head home the winner.
