Here’s how the Blues players rated today:
GK: Thibaut Courtois – 6
He was at fault for Hull’s equaliser after a shocking error which gifted the goal to Abel Hernandez, but pulled off an impressive triple save midway through the second half to make up for it.
RB: Branislav Ivanovic – 5
Contributed to the confusion which led to Hernandez’s equalizer and generally had a poor game defensively which he will be disappointed with.
CB: Gary Cahill – 5
Cahill’s game was limited after being booked early on, but he still contributed with clearances and brave blocks from Hull shots on goal.
CB: John Terry – 7
Won his challenges and led his side from defence, an assured game from the Chelsea captain who deserves a lot of plaudits should his team go on to lift the Premier League trophy.
LB: Filipe Luis – 6
A reasonable Azpilicueta replacement, solid without being spectacular. Defensively the Brazilian was solid and contributed to attacking phases of play.
