Page 2 - FA Cup Semifinal 17/18: Chelsea 2-0 Southampton

Chelsea

Willy Caballero - 7/10

Starting ahead of Courtois, Caballero was a mere spectator in the 1st half of the game. He did make an excellent save to deny Raymond from getting on the scoresheet and thus ensured his side also kept a clean sheet in the process.

Cesar Azpilicueta - 8/10

With the Saints playing 2 strikers, Azpilicueta had a little more work to do, which he did without any problem, no surprises there. And after a long time did we see the partnership between him and Morata once again.

Gary Cahill - 7/10

Another solid game for the Chelsea captain. Continuing his impressive performance in the game against Burnley, Cahill dealt with the treat nicely and battled hard.

Antonio Rudiger - 6.5/10

Since being left out for 'tactical reasons', Rudiger has had a good run. Today, he used his pace to his advantage and held his performance. He was lucky when he was caught out of position as Long failed to score.

Victor Moses - 7/10

After his impressive performance against Burnley, Moses produced another decent performance at Wembley.

N'Golo Kante - 8/10

The heart of Chelsea, Kante once again had a great outing. Breaking up the play and getting the Blues going forward is what he did.

Cesc Fabregas - 7/10

A decent game from Fabregas. He looked good on the ball and was the starting point of Chelsea's 1st goal as his pass found Hazard and then Giroud who then scored.

Emerson Palmieri - 7/10

Alonso's ban came handy for Palmieri. 2 games, 2 solid performance from the wing-back. Decent in defense and always looking to go forward, Emerson will improve with more game time.

Willian - 7/10

The Brazilian was having a great game until Conte decided to take him off after an hour, though he didn't look injured. Willian smashed the bar and his pace gave problems to the Saints defender today.

Oliver Giroud - 8/10

Scoring twice from the bench last week, Giroud started the game today. Continuing his impressive run in the FA Cup games, he scored once again to give his side the lead. Some lovely linkup with Hazard and fighting for the ball in the air, Giroud was a threat today.

Eden Hazard - 9/10

The Man of the Match for today, Hazard was just brilliant on the pitch. Skills, pace, linkups, a bit of Rabona, the Belgium international was full of energy. He certainly was a threat every time he got forward with the ball and caused problems for the defenders.

Substitutes:

Tiemoue Bakayoko - 5/10

It looks like slowly Bakayoko is cementing his place back into the team. An 'ok' performance from the French midfielder.

Pedro - 6/10

Since coming on, Pedro provided good energy and looked positive.

Alvaro Morata - 7/10

That goal would have certainly boosted his confidence after missing a sitter in the midweek. His header was the final blow to Saints who thought they had some chance of getting back into the game.
