Chelsea turned up when it matters with a dominant performance at Villa Park today to remain in the Champions League hunt for next season!

What a response from the group of players and from Liam Rosenior.

JORGENSEN- 5

Looked shaky at the start the game but grew in confidence gradually with a short passing. Long passes could have been better when trying to find Pedro or Garnacho.

GUSTO- 6

A wonderful run and a great ball into the box to tee up Pedro’s first goal. This is how you get the best out of Malo Gusto, having him high and wide and allowing him to make those runs in behind.

FOFANA – 7

Struggled to keep up with the pace for a little bit but manhandled Watkins relatively well. The indecisive dribbling also stopped too which caught him off guard a few times.

CHALOBAH – 7

Pretty solid with his passing, aerially decent.

HATO- 7.5

Remained a threat down the left-hand side with the overlapping runs with Garnacho.

Defensively handled Bailey quite well and he has definitely taken confidence from pocketing Saka.

JAMES (C)- 8.5

A proper skippers performance and was literally everywhere.

Involved in every good bit for Chelsea defensively and offensively. He is definitely one of our own!

CAICEDO – 8

Looks more comfortable with someone more mobile next to him and has to do less dog work. His passing range is also very underrated.

PALMER- 7

Great finish, messed up a few attacks but overall solid and still finding his confidence. Looks overall more sharp.

ENZO- 7.5

A beautiful pre assist for Gusto and a clever intricate assist for the second goal. He has been influential lately.

GARNACHO- 6.5

Compared to what we normally see, he looked much better today. Much more direct and was taking on Cash. Great runs in behind, created his most chances in a game in a long time.

JOAO PEDRO- 9.5

Insane second goal, he loves a chip. 14 goals in the league is top. Link up play and hold up very good, ran the show.

Rosenior: 8.5

Good changes and fast, attacking Football. Chelsea created so many chances, would have been a 10 if there was a bit better of a balance out of possession.

Tosin- N/A

Cucurella: 6

Made a great run and should have had an assist for Garnacho, but the Argentine missed.

Lavia- 6.5

Solidified the midfield with his physicality and made a couple of line breaking passes.

Delap: N/A

Santos: N/A
