Enzo Fernandez – 8.5
The starting captain on the day looked up for the battle and produced an energetic effort in midfield. Fernandez was in the right areas to help recover possession in key moments, making four tackles and winning seven ground duels too. Moved the ball around well and made a beautiful pass for Gallagher’s goal.
Mykhailo Mudryk – 8
Mudryk looked sharp in the no.10 role, causing a lot of trouble with his movement and link-up play in the first half. Scored a really well-taken goal and was troubled with his pace and accuracy in passing.
Conor Gallagher – 7.5
Gallagher made an impressive impact after coming on and amplified his side’s goal-scoring threat instantly. Moved the ball around well and got himself in all the best areas, capitalizing on a great Enzo pass to score a fantastic winner in added time.
Nicolas Jackson – 7
Jackson scored his 10th goal of the season with a really sharp finish and was a thorn for the defenders with his off-the-ball running. A bit sloppy at times, but pressed the Leeds players well and brought a lot of positive energy to his side’s attack.
Moises Caicedo – 6.5
Caicedo played a role in the sloppy first goal Chelsea conceded after being pressed outside his own area. But then made up with a nice assist for the equalizer and won back the ball 10 times, but was a bit too aggressive at times and got booked again.
Robert Sanchez – 5
The Spaniard had a frustrating return to action for Chelsea. Left embarrassed by the manner of the first goal and rooted to his spot for the second. A bit shaky with his distribution and not the reliable figure he normally is with his passing.
Trevoh Chalobah – 4
Chalobah was not able to justify his surprise start at all. He ended up being caught in bad positions time and again, with opponents’ players outwitting him and often leaving him in difficult positions. Couldn’t track the run of Matteo Joseph for his goal and looked sloppy due to lack of game-time.
