Harry Arter looked glaringly off the pace and struggled to deal with the swift movement of the Chelsea players under Maurizio Sarri's free-flowing system. The midfielder struggled to keep the ball at his feet and had to resort to petty fouls as he failed to effectively intercept and break up play in midfield for the visitors.

The 28-year-old hardly stood out positively on the pitch and rarely caused any threat whatsoever to the hosts on what turned out to be a forgetful afternoon for the player. Arter picked up a minor injury towards the end of the first half and never returned after the half-time break to throw further shade at his performance against Chelsea.
