Chelsea welcomed Manchester United at Stamford Bridge earlier this evening as they looked to secure a victory at home. The Blues dominated possession in the early goings of the game but were unable to break the Man United defence down as they went into the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Both sides went hammer and tongs in search of the winning goal in the second 45 minutes but were toothless in the final third as the contest finished 0-0 after the full-time whistle.
Let’s take a look at how each Chelsea player performed during the match against the Red Devils.
GK: Edouard Mendy – 7/10
The Senegalese keeper made a few decent saves during the game and will be quite satisfied with the clean sheet.
CB: Cesar Azpilicueta – 7.5/10
The Spaniard made several essential clearances for the Blues and was quite lively and displayed creativity on the ball as well.
CB: Andreas Christensen – 8/10
Christensen didn’t put a foot wrong on the defensive end of the field and passed the ball exceptionally well throughout the game.
CB: Antonio Rudiger – 7.5/10
The German sensation did well to clear the danger when called into action and was also not shy of running with the ball when offered time and space by the opposition.
RM: Callum Hudson-Odoi – 7/10
The youngster kept a good shape inside his half and managed to create a couple of decent chances in the first half. He got replaced at half-time.
CM: N’Golo Kante – 8/10
Kante was a class act in midfield and made several crucial interceptions for his team. He was also bright on the ball and helped Chelsea boss the midfield battle.
CM: Mateo Kovacic – 7.5/10
He was always ready to make late runs towards the Man United penalty box. He also had a couple of shot attempts but never looked like he would score.
LM: Ben Chilwell – 7/10
Chilwell cleared his lines when needed and engineered one good opportunity in the final third.
RAM: Hakim Ziyech – 7.5/10
Ziyech orchestrated multiple chances for his teammates to score and made a few promising runs in the attacking third.
LAM: Mason Mount – 7/10
He had his moments in the game but struggled to threaten the Man United goal.
ST: Olivier Giroud – 6/10
The French centre-forward was a frustrated figure in the first half and got replaced after the hour mark.
Substitutes:
RM: Reece James – 7/10
He got stuck in with a few tackles and delivered a dangerous ball into the Red Devils penalty box.
RAM: Christian Pulisic – 6/10
The talented attacker offered very little after coming onto the field.
ST: Timo Werner – 6/10
Werner never got a chance to test the opposition keeper after coming off the bench.
