Chelsea Player Ratings From Win Over Liverpool: Cesar Azpilicueta Impresses, Diego Costa Outstanding

LB) Cesar Azpilicueta – 8

Shut down Liverpool’s right wing, and assisted the winner with a burst down the left and a great outside of the boot cross.

CB) John Terry – 8

Strong centre-back performance, giving Mario Balotelli absolutely nothing.

CB) Gary Cahill – 8

Played well alonside Terry, but the ball struck his arm late on, and he could easily have given away a vital penalty.

RB) Branislav Ivanovic – 7

Solid going forward and at the back.
