Hazard jew el in Chelsea cro w n
THIBAUT COURTOIS (8)
Selected for his first FA Cup game of the season ahead of Willy Caballero, the big Belgian justified the call making vital saves as the match went on.
CESAR AZPILICUETA (7)
Chelsea’s Mr Dependable was up against Sanchez for large parts and as ever, didn’t let his side down.
GARY CAHILL (6)
In and out of the team for large periods this year, but did a decent job of marshalling his defence
ANTONIO RUDIGER (7)
Named in the German World Cup squad last week, he has become a real cult hero at Stamford Bridge for his strong defending, which was on show here.
VICTOR MOSES (6)
Sent off in last season’s final but stayed on longer this time. Was rarely seen getting forward though.
CESC FABREGAS (6)
Capable of playing a killer pass as he showed with his ball through for Hazard’s penalty.
N’GOLO KANTE (7)
The heartbeat of the team, the way the game unfolded was ideal for his method of putting out fires in midfield.
TIEMOUE BAKAYOKO (6)
Had a disappointing first season in England and somewhat on the periphery in this one.
MARCOS ALONSO (6)
Spanish wing-back spent more time on defensive duty but could and should have grabbed a killer second.
EDEN HAZARD (7)
The jewel in the crown and the man most likely to break the shackles. Good work for the penalty. ( WILLIAN, 90, Sent on to eat up the clock.)
OLIVIER GIROUD (6)
FA Cup three-time winner with Arsenal was used as a target man but became isolated. (ALVARO MORATA, 89, Given a late run-out up front.)
Unused – Willy Caballero, Ross Barkley, Pedro, Davide Zappacosta, Trevoh Chalobah
