Chelsea Player Ratings
Philip Jorgensen – 7.5/10
If Chelsea didn’t have Jorgensen today, the score could have been a defeat. Throughout the game, the Swedish goalkeeper was in a position to make important saves, helping the team maintain its advantage on days when the defense was loose.
Axel Disasi – 6/10
Made several mistakes in his passes that allowed him to be easily intercepted. His defensive positioning was poor and his offensive play was not very helpful.
Tosin Adarabioyo – 6.5/10
He was in an odd position and gave his opponents a lot of chances to shoot. He did intercept or block a few shots, but in a game of this calibre, Tosin should have done better.
Benoit Badiashile – 6.5/10
Created some nice chances from the back to give the attackers a chance to continue the game. Did a decent job with the defensive line but still had some awkward interceptions, especially getting a yellow card in the first minute which shouldn’t have happened.
Renato Vega – 6.5/10
Inverted into the middle as expected, but his creative play was not very outstanding because he looked sluggish. He tried to dribble the ball but could not get past his opponents. What stood out was his defensive game where he used his strength to defeat his opponents.
Cesare Casaday – 6.5/10
Overall, he tried to create a game, but at times he seemed too forced. His turning and passing were not smooth. What is worthy of criticism is that he should not have been shown a yellow or red card just a few minutes before the end of the game. It damaged the overall team’s arrangement for the next game.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 7/10
He kept Chelsea’s attacking game flowing and Dewsbury-Hall played a key role in the team’s second goal, setting up a beautiful cross for Sancho who broke into the penalty area, but unfortunately his shot was blocked.
Jadon Sancho – 8.5/10
He was in great form today. *He was able to dribble past his opponents on the right wing when he got the ball. He had great control of the ball and even made two assists to help the team secure three points.
Christopher Nkunku – 7.5/10
Scored a crucial goal for Chelsea, breaking the deadlock and creating a number of chances in the box, but unfortunately he was not very good at finishing.

was commended for his brave dribbling today, his timing was much better, and his shot was brilliant. This is his third goal in four European games this season.
