Chelsea Player Ratings

Edouard Mendy had a magnificent performance in goal for Chelsea
Edouard Mendy had a magnificent performance in goal for Chelsea

Edouard Mendy - 9/10

Mendy was outstanding for Chelsea. The first save off Rashford was down to his brilliant positioning. The second save, in second-half stoppage time, was also sensational, because he had to move swiftly to his left.

Cesar Azpilicueta - 6/10

He should have won his side a penalty after being wrestled by Maguire. Defensively, he was solid enough.

Thiago Silva - 7/10

From the middle of the back three, Silva set the tone for Chelsea's defensive performance. He made one crucial block to deny Cavani the chance to test Mendy.

Kurt Zouma - 6/10

With Silva next to him, Zouma looked a lot less like he could combust at any moment. He defended well, and also played some neat passes into the Chelsea midfield.

Reece James - 8/10

James was generally superb in this game. He was robust defensively, and didn't let the United attackers past him. He also played in some superb crosses in the second half, which just evaded Chelsea bodies in the box.

Jorginho - 6/10

He kept play ticking for Chelsea, and wasn't really overpowered by the Manchester United press, so a middling performance.

N'Golo Kante - 6/10

His effort cannot be questioned, as always. He covered a lot of ground, and made some great tackles. The quality on the ball was questionable, though.

Ben Chilwell - 6/10

For large parts of the game, Chilwell looked to be Chelsea's best attacking outlet. His delivery into the box was below-par.

Kai Havertz - 5/10

Another game on the right flank for Chelsea, and Havertz continues to struggle. He couldn't really get on the ball as often as he'd have liked, and that meant less creativity from him.

Christian Pulisic - 6/10

He was slightly more involved than the other two starting attackers for Chelsea. But in his battle with Wan-Bissaka, he never really got the better of his opponent.

Timo Werner - 4/10

Werner had no space to run in behind Manchester United's defence. When he got the ball, Lindelof and Maguire had him on a tight leash.

Substitutes

Tammy Abraham - 5/10

He barely had a touch of the ball in the opposing penalty area, as Chelsea had well and truly shut shop in the second half.

Mason Mount - 5/10

Like Abraham, Mount really didn't have the opportunity to do what he'd have liked in attacking areas, thanks to Chelsea's defensive approach.

Hakim Ziyech - N/A

Ziyech came on with very little time left, and didn't get hold of the ball often.
