AMC: Willian
Once again a key man for Chelsea-as he was in the midweek triumph of Dynamo Kiev-and was unlucky to be on the losing team here. 7.5/10.
AMR: Pedro
Brought into the side to replace Oscar, and hit the woodwork. 6.5/10.
AML: Eden Hazard
Recalled to the starting lineup after his late cameo against Kiev convinced Mourinho of his worth. A few moments of excellence, and suggestions that he could be the man to pull the Pensioners from their slumber. 7/10.
FC: Diego Costa
Clearly relished a brutish battle against a brutish Stoke side, although the goals still aren’t flowing as they once were. 6.5/10.
