AMR) Juan Cuadrado – 5
Handed a rare start due to an injury to Ramires before kick-off and was taken off at half-time as he struggled to get to grips with the game.
AML) Eden Hazard – 8 (MOTM)
Won the penalty which led to the opener in the closing stages of the first half, the Belgian will have been very relieved to have converted the rebound after missing his first ever spot-kick in the league.
ST) Didier Drogba – 6
Quiet first-half from the veteran striker as he was well marshaled by the Palace defenders and missed a chance in the second half that would have crowned a special day for the Blues legend.
