4. Cesc Fabregas – 7
Dictated play in the middle and although his shooting was wayward the Spain international continues to look like a world-class addition.
21. Nemanja Matic – 7
The Serbian and Fabregas have formed a brilliant central midfield pairing with Matic’s defensive displays allowing the 27-year-old to break forward.
22. Willian – 8
Another busy display from the Brazil international who provided Oscar with an assist for the opener and then scored the third himself.
8. Oscar (Mikel, 71′) – 7
This was a game that will have boosted the attacking midfielder’s confidence after a slow start to the season and the 23-year-old took his goal well.
10. Eden Hazard (Schurrle, 68′) – 7
Quiet in the first half but the Belgian settled into things after the break and was sharp to setup Costa for the second and then almost netted himself.
