Here are how their players matched up…
GK) Thibaut Courtois, 5
Should have done better on the goal, and looked shaky on his return.
RB) Branislav Ivanovic, 8
Great as usual in defence and even grabbed himself a goal.
LB) Filipe Luis, 7
Looked good going forward, and may get more time on the pitch if he continues to play like this.
CB) Kurt Zouma, 6
Solid throughout but had little to do until the final 20 minutes.
CB) John Terry, 6
Similar to Zouma. Impressively so considering he is 34-years-old and had played mid-week.
CM) Cesc Fabregas, 6
The former Arsenal man’s passing wasn’t as incisive as it sometimes is.
CM) Nemanja Matic, 4
It may have been a bad tackle, but the Serbian should not have reacted in the way he did. No other mistakes when on the pitch though.
CAM) Oscar, 5
Quiet, and wasn’t able to break down a shaky Burnley defence.
LAM) Eden Hazard, 6
Helped to create the opening goal, but did little else. Needs to take control of games like this if he wants to be considered one of the best players in the world.
RAM) Juan Cuadrado, 6
Still settling in at Stamford Bridge and it shows. However, he will need to improve in order to make his transfer fee seem good value.
ST) Diego Costa, 5
With the creative players struggling the poacher had nothing to feed off.
SUB) Ramires, 6
Looked capable when he came on following Matic’s red card, but couldn’t help the London side to hold on to a victory.
SUB) Willian, 5
Came on at the same time as Ramires, but was unable to make the same impact on the game.
SUB) Didier Drogba, 6
Didn’t have enough time to influence the match when he arrived in the dying minutes.
