Midfielders
Marc Cucurella - 8.5 and Man Of The Match: Cucurella’s inverting position once again was one of the main reasons Chelsea won. Great finish on the goal and worked well on that left hand side with Nkunku and Enzo. Once again one of Chelsea’s better players. He also had the most tackles (5) and won the most duels (8) for Chelsea.
Moises Caicedo - 7: Caicedo’s class is becoming so consistent that the standard for his performances is a level above most. One of those days where you didn’t notice him much because he was always in the right spot, always composed making the right play. 96% passing, 86% on long balls, and a rock stabilizing the center of the field.
Enzo Fernandez - 7.5: Enzo was very effective today on the attacking side of the ball. He found many pockets of space on the left-hand side, and connecting with Palmer multiple times sending him through, most notably on the 1v1 opportunity that was stopped by former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. The Chelsea skipper was the catalyst for a majority of the Chelsea attacks. 7 key passes, 4/5 long balls, 3 big chances created, 7 recoveries and 5/5 ground duels won tonight.
