Fortunate to keep a clean sheet as Chelsea hit the woodwork on three occasions. **Diogo Dalot – 6** Wasn’t troubled by Chelsea’s left wingers. Helped in build up, but didn’t offer a lot when he got to the final third. **Noussair Mazraoui – 5** Struggled a bit in the first half, but that’s to be expected in an unfamiliar position. Got out of the game without conceding, which was the most important part. **Ayden Heaven – 7** Another solid display from the youngster. He was the best player in the backline today and defended his box well. ** – 6** Doesn’t make runs forward like he used to, but he was fine defensively. ** – 6** Wasn’t really challenged for most of the game. Kept things simple. ** – 7** Showed some composure today. Kept things ticking; needs to keep this up. ** – 7** Another assist for the captain. Only starter who looked a bit lively in the final third today. ** – 6** Scored the all-important goal, and it was a fine finish, but had some poor touches before that and didn’t really threaten the Chelsea backline enough. ** – 5** Hasn’t shown his qualities in over a month now. Needs a big performance soon. ** – 5** Quiet game. Pulled the defender away for the goal, but didn’t offer much other than that. **Subs** ** – N/A** ** – 6** Bought some energy to the side. **** – **N/A** **Manager** **Michael Carrick – 6** Another limp performance but a fantastic result. All about getting over the line at this stage.
