Victor Moses was the villain when Chelsea last faced Arsenal at Wembley in last season's FA Cup final, but the wingback was one of Chelsea's few positives. The player has been identified as a weakness by many, with Chelsea linked with replacements like Antonio Candreva.

The Nigerian remains a willing worker and deserved his opportunistic goal, in a Chelsea performance that looked rather pedestrian. The Blues' defence looked solid enough, but their only positive outlet seemed Moses, although the 26-year-old looked shackled in the latter stages of the game.

Going forward, Michy Batshuayi and Alvaro Morata looked lost, and while it was only a pre-season game, there are plenty of warning signs for the Blues.
