Emiliano Martinez: The Argentina goalkeeper was fortunate not to be punished after taking too long over a goal-kick and conceding a corner. He also made a number of saves, although none proved particularly demanding. Martinez was later carried off on a stretcher after a collision with Jarrad Branthwaite in worrying scenes. 6
Josh Acheampong: Acheampong looked a threat going forward but was booked for a late challenge on Grealish in the first half. 6
Maxence Lacroix: One of Lacroix’s best performances since joining Chelsea. He saw a header from a corner cleared off the line and defended impressively throughout. 7
Levi Colwill: A relatively quiet afternoon for the centre-back, who was rarely troubled defensively. 6
Pedro Neto: The Portugal winger scored 43 seconds after the restart after threatening shortly before half-time with a long-range effort. He was involved in much of Chelsea’s attacking play but picked up a needless booking for dissent. Neto took his second in the 90th well after a blocked free-kick landed at his feet inside the box. 8
Jordan Henderson: Influential throughout, contributing in all areas of the pitch. His set-piece delivery was strong and he also saw a shot blocked. 7
Moises Caicedo: Relished the physical battle in midfield and came close to scoring with a superb first-time volley that struck the crossbar just before half-time. 7
Jorrel Hato: The Dutch defender, Chelsea’s only change from last week’s win, provided the assist for Neto’s first goal and was composed in possession. 7
Cole Palmer: A relatively quiet display by his standards, although he looked dangerous whenever he got on the ball. He tested the goalkeeper early on and later lifted an inventive effort over the bar. 6
Morgan Rogers: The club-record signing showed his competitive edge throughout. His clever backheel played a key role in the build-up to Chelsea’s goal. 7
Joao Pedro: A rare subdued performance from the Brazilian, who had enjoyed an excellent run of form coming into the match. Pedro squandered a good chance to seal victory in the 86th minute. 5
Subs:
Mike Penders (on 74, Martinez): In less than optimal circumstances, the young Belgian goalkeeper came on for his Premier League debut for an injured Martinez. Penders made a good punch from a cross with his first action in the 84th minute but flapped at the next one before making a simple save. 6
Marco Palestra (on 90+1, Hato)
Danny Welbeck (on 90+1, Joao Pedro)
Romeo Lavia (on 90+1, Caicedo)
