HOW THEY RATED

FORMATION 3-4-2-1 Edouard MENDY

Produced a crucial save to deny Raheem Sterling early on and never looked back. Commanding throughout.

7 Captain fantastic once again with a warrior-like display, including a crucial block to clear Mahrez’s cross late on.

Cesar AZPILICUETA Thiago SILVA

Confident and unruffled start, but lasted only 39 minutes after suffering a groin injury and left pitch in tears.

8 Another commanding performance after never putting a foot wrong. And to think, he couldn’t get in the team under Frank Lampard.

Antonio RUDIGER Reece JAMES

Outstanding from start to finish. Had Sterling in his pocket all night. A superstar in the making.

10 The perfect performance on the perfect night from the perfect midfielder. It was unbelievable stuff.

N’golo KANTE JORGINHO

Harried and hustled in midfield to do his job with the sort of hard work that often goes unnoticed.

8 Convincing case to be England’s starting best left-back at the Euros. Combined well with Mason Mount throughout.

Ben CHILWELL Kai HAVERTZ

Ran the City defence ragged from start to finish and produced a calm and collected finish to win the game.

9 Outstanding display to enhance his rapidly growing reputation as one of the best young players in the world.

Mason MOUNT

7 Phenomenal work rate and desire to run, but missed two golden chances in first half to remind us of how he has to improve.

Timo WERNER SUBS 7

CHRISTENSEN (Silva 39, 8)

Magnificent after being drafted in when Brazilian was crocked. PULISIC (Werner 66, 7)

Could have added the gloss with a second for Chelsea. KOVACIC (Mount 80, 7)

Brought on to see things out.

Antonio Mateu Lahoz (Spain 7)
