Chelsea 0-0 Fulham: Blues player ratings

1. Kepa Arrizabalaga (Goalkeeper): 7/10

Made a great save to deny Fulham taking the lead in the first half. In the second half, Kepa was called more into action but never looked in danger of conceding. A rather comfortable night for the Spanish goalkeeper.

2. Reece James (Right Back): 6/10

Reece James made just his second start of the season after recovering from another long term injury and looked visibly in need of some game time. James lacked the sharpness in his gameplay  but the English international still did well defensively. Reece James was replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta in the 60th minute.

3. Thiago Silva (Centerback): 7/10

Again Thiago Silva showed his brilliance in both defending and progressing the ball forward. The Brazilian veteran won the most number of arial duels along with Kai Havertz and kept the Fulham attackers at bay. The new contract for the Chelsea veteran can’t come any sooner.

4. Benoit Badiashile (Centerback): 7/10

The new defensive signing of Benoit Badiashile continues to impress as the young French defender started his third consecutive game and kept his third consecutive clean sheet for the Blues. On the ball, Badiashile looked very secure and progressed the ball very well. When tackling, the France international timed his tackles well and continue to showcase the pacy centerback Chelsea lacked, somewhat filling the void left by the departure of Antonio Rudiger.
