#3 Best: Salomon Rondon
Right from the very first minute, it was clear that Newcastle would sit deep and low, defend for 90 minutes and frustrate Chelsea by taking the game deeper. The game plan was set - to knock long balls and through balls in Rondon's path. The forward was then supposed to hold the ball up, use his strength to buy time for the midfielders and then occupy the box.
Well, he did most of it quite well. Despite being isolated for most part of the game, the striker never stopped working hard or running. Every time he picked up the ball, there was a sense of hunger and desire to keep possession.
He also proved to be stronger than the likes of Luiz and Kante on occasions and got the Newcastle crowd on their feet by heading an effort wide off goal.
