Renato Veiga: 7/10

Veiga, like Disasi, had a straightforward and uneventful game, which is a good thing. He passed the ball and won the ball back relatively well.

Marc Cucurella: 8/10

Cucurella was once again immense. He played a very important role in buildup while doing his part to make sure Chelsea was not exposed defensively on his flank. His goal turned a good game into a great one, as he scored his second goal in consecutive games. It was a sweetly struck ball too.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 7.5/10

Dewsbury-Hall was OK, but his goal was very well taken. He lost most of his duels, and his dribbling and crossing were abysmal, but his distribution was very good. He didn't do much in terms of winning the ball back, though.

Cesare Casadei: 7/10

Casadei did not set the world alight, but he didn't have to. He did enough to not cost the Blues the game. His distribution was good.

Noni Madueke: 7.5/10

Madueke was great, contributing a lot creatively. His crossing was fantastic, and his dribbling was spot-on. He created three chances and even got an assist for his troubles. More performances like this from him would be good for his status.

Christopher Nkunku: 9/10

Nkunku had a great game too. His chemistry with Marc Guiu was a joy to see. His role in holding up the ball in the final third was crucial, and he played it well. He won important fouls and made sure the Blues did not waste attacks.

Tyrique George: 7/10

George's sharpness was evident against Shamrock Rovers. He was difficult for the visitors to deal with, and they had no answers for him throughout the game. He didn't create many chances, but he did create one of CFC's five big chances in the game.
