RWB : Victor Moses – 7/10
Kept Funes Mori and Oviedo engaged throughout down the right flank. Very good performance once again from Moses.
LWB : Marcos Alonso – 8/10
Looked like a free bird down the left, adding another dimension to Chelsea’s attack. Made a good run and took his chance well. While clean-sheet is the cake, a goal is the icing. Chelsea fans would expect more of these from him.
CM : N’golo Kante – 7/10
A very key contributor to the system with his dynamic approach. Looked to be all over the pitch whenever the team needed to regain possession and never allowed an Everton player to get freedom. Sublime work!
CM : Nemanja Matic – 7/10
Dictated play from the central midfield and he was hardly threatened in the midfield. Kept the balls ticking down the opposition’s half. His partnership with Kante looks solid.
RF : Pedro Rodriguez – 9/10
Words would fall shorter for Pedro today as he was nothing less than scintillating. Work-rate, passing, link up play everything was outstanding. He is really coming to the fore under Conte.
LF : Eden Hazard – 9.5/10
Magical, sensational and what not! A performance that truly proves why he is one of the world’s best currently. Two goals and an assist for Eden Hazard caps off a top quality performance.
ST : Diego Costa – 8.5/10
Led the attack in top fashion. Hold up play was good and a typical thunderous finish beat Stekelenburg. The Spaniard just can’t stop scoring at the moment.
