(Video) Goal! Chelsea 1-0 Everton, Has Willian Won Blues The Title?
How did their players shape up against the Toffees?
GK) Petr Cech, 8
A rare start for the 32-year-old, and he reminded everyone how good he is. One close range save from Lukaku was miraculous.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic, 6
Looked good going forward, but caught out of position a couple of times when the Toffees countered.
LB) Cesar Azpilicueta, 7
Made sure that Aaron Lennon had a tough night in his first Everton start.
CB) John Terry, 7
The skipper had little to do, but did what there was well.
CB) Kurt Zouma, 7
Had a running battle with Romelu Lukaku throughout the match, and although the Belgian didn’t score it was a close match up.
CM) Nemanja Matic, 8
Usually known for his defensive nous, with Cesc Fabregas not starting he roamed forward more and looked dangerous.
CM) Ramires, 6
Didn’t do enough to warrant a stay in the side once everyone is fully fit.
CM) Willian, 7
Looked lost when in the middle, but impressed on the wing when he moved out to accommodate Fabregas when he came on. Got a lucky deflection on the winner.
LW) Eden Hazard, 5
Constantly on the ball and won a few fouls, but this is exactly the type of game he has to influence if he wants to be considered the best player in the league.
RW) Juan Cuadrado, 6
A solid if unspectacular debut from the Colombian, showing snatches of his ability with some dribbles.
ST) Loic Remy, 4
Was dealt with well by Phil Jagielka and John Stones, and did little to excite.
SUB) Cesc Fabregas, 8
Made a noticeable difference when he came on. It says a lot that he could be the best player in what is a brilliant Chelsea team.
SUB) Didier Drogba, 4
Similarly to Remy, Stones and Jagielka had little trouble with the Blues legend.
SUB) Gary Cahill, 6
Didn’t have enough time to make an impact.
