MC) Nemanja Matic – 7
Provided his side with the defensive platform in the midfield from which the rest of the side could play. His signing in January might well just secure the league title for the Blues this season.
MC) Ramires – 6
Not an especially outstanding performance from the Brazilian, but he kept play ticking over in the centre of the park nicely. Struggled to really get forward as often as he may have liked, however. Picked up a booking, too.
AMR) Andre Schurrle (David Luiz – 87′) – 10
The German justified Jose Mourinho selecting him ahead of Willian by scoring a crucial hat-trick in the second half. Exceptional performance, and was rightly given a standing ovation as he left the field.
