Player Ratings
CHELSEA 70 ( -4- ) TEAM AVERAGE 6.4
EDOUARD MENDY 6
Did he touch the ball with his hands? Exposed for the goal and poor kick nearly gave away a second.
TREVOH CHALOBAH 7
Cruised through the first half but had his hands full with Rashford in the
second.
THIAGO SILVA 7
Solid at the back. Made the most of Wan-Bissaka’s challenge to ensure his team won a penalty.
ANTONIO RUDIGER 6.5
Missed a glaring late chance having rattled the bar from 25 yards in the first half.
REECE JAMES 6.5
Posed a threat from both flanks after switching, but quiet by his high
standards.
RUBEN LOFTUS-CHEEK 6.5
In for the injured Kante. Put in a decent shift in midfield but headed a late chance over.
JORGINHO 6
His mis-control handed United the lead. Will have been hugely relieved to equalise from the spot.
MARCOS ALONSO 6.5
Never stopped running and no surprise he tired on his first league outing for two months.
HAKIM ZIYECH 6
A real handful for United but couldn’t make the most of a handful of half
chances.
TIMO WERNER 5
Had to wait for almost an hour for the first of two clear opportunities but failed to convert either.
CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI 7
Chelsea’s two best chances of the first half fell to him, but he couldn’t beat De Gea.
SUBSTITUTES
Mount (for Alonso 78min), Pulisic (for Hudson-Odoi 78), Lukaku (for Werner 82).
THOMAS TUCHEL 6.5
Got his tactics right but Chelsea’s finishing — and Jorginho’s control — let them down.
MAN UNITED 69 (4- -1-2) TEAM AVERAGE 6.
DAVID DE GEA 7
Only beaten from the penalty spot following his saves from Ziyech and
Hudson-Odoi.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA 5.5
Conceded a penalty with a careless challenge but made a vital interception to deny Werner.
ERIC BAILLY 6.5
In for Maguire, got turned by Ziyech early on but gave away very little after that.
VICTOR LINDELOF 6.5
It wasn’t a pretty or easy day at the office but he led the defensive effort as United hung on.
ALEX TELLES 5.5
Struggled to stop a steady supply of Chelsea crosses and rarely got
forward.
SCOTT McTOMINAY 7.5
Drove United on with his energy, even after he was booked just before
half-time.
NEMANJA MATIC 6.5
The extra defensive midfielder and a calming influence when United were being overrun.
FRED 6
Worked tirelessly but guilty of poor attempt at a chip when handed a chance late on.
BRUNO FERNANDES 5
Can’t fault his spirit but another hit and miss performance from the
Portuguese.
JADON SANCHO 7
Took his second goal in two games really well. His United career is finally taking off.
MARCUS RASHFORD 6
Couldn’t make an impact in the first half but was transformed after the
interval.
SUBSTITUTES Ronaldo 5.5 (for Sancho 64min), Lingard (for Rashford 77), Van de Beek (for Fernandes 89).
MICHAEL CARRICK 7
Tried to defend and nick a win, and it almost worked. Good week for the United caretaker.
REFEREE ANTHONY TAYLOR 7 Got the big call spot on, awarding Chelsea a penalty without VAR’s aid.
