Arsenal 0 - 1 Chelsea - Player Ratings

[AlexTommo]

Courtois - 6/10 - Had a few wobbly patches. Spilled a couple of aerial balls that could have been costly.

Ivanovic - 7/10 - Solid display. Great cross for the goal. Made some important defensive contributions.

Zouma - 8/10 - Beast today. Great defending especially towards the end of the game.

Terry - 8/10 - Also a great defensive display from our Captain. Hoofed the ball clear several times to ease nerves (temporarily) towards the closing stages.

Azpilicueta - 8/10 - Fantastic game from him. Didn't allow Bellerin to get past him.

Mikel - 6/10 - Silly booking and some sloppy passes but did ok otherwise.

Matic - 5/10 - Still not performing very well but still has an intimidating presence in midfield.

Willian - 7/10 - Not a big impact today but great pass to Diego that led to the sending off.

Fabregas - 9/10 - Best performance this season. Ran the midfield with comfort. Made the Arsenal players look like schoolboys. So unlucky not to get a penalty.

Oscar - 5/10 - Silly to get booked so early on. Didn't influence the game much.

Costa - 8/10 - A thorn in their side today. Great goal and the reason Mertesacke got himself sent off. Caught offside often though.

Largely agree

Mikel deserves more - He played the role we was meant to... Keep Ozil (their biggest threat!) in his pocket!

 

Did you even notice Ozil during the game...
