Leo (5.1/10): Leo could have done better to save Pulisic’s goal. He let in another goal in the second half.

Mehmet Zeki Celik (6.6/10): Celik was not effective on the right flank and was subbed off in the second half.

Jose Fonte (6/10): The veteran center back did not have a great game as he was slow to react and got booked for a bad challenge.

Sven Botman (6.7/10): Botman had a decent game at the back but unfortunately got injured and was replaced by Onana.

Tiago Djalo (7.5/10): Djalo completed 3 dribbles and won 14 duels in the match- most for any player.

Benjamin Andre (6.9/10): Andre made good recoveries in the midfield and brought possession back to Lille.

Xeka (7/10): Xeka came close to scoring but his thumping header in the second half hit the post.

Gabriel Gudmundsson (6.5/10): Apart from getting booked for a challenge on Havertz, Gudmundsson didn’t contribute much to the match.

Burak Yilmaz (7.2/10): Yilmaz was not perfect with his shots and passes but scored the first-half penalty to reduce Lille’s deficit.

Jonathan David (6/10): David had a totally ineffective game as he had zero shots on target.

Andreas Christensen (6.5/10): Christensen could only patrol the backline for half an hour as he got injured and had to be replaced.

Thiago Silva (7.5/10): Silva was rock solid in defence. He made crucial blocks and interceptions inside the box.

Antonio Rudiger (7.4/10): The German center back was rugged but completed his task of keeping the Lille forwards at bay.

Cesar Azpilicueta (8/10): The skipper had an amazing game as he scored Chelsea’s winner off his knee from a curling Mount cross.

Mateo Kovacic (6.7/10): Kovacic had a good game in the first half, but Tuchel took him off to return to their usual 3-4-3 formation.

N’Golo Kante (7/10): Kante was everywhere on the pitch making challenges and pressing the opponents when not in possession.

Marcos Alonso (7.1/10): Alonso was brought into the game as a specialist in the left wing-back position. He did not disappoint and was clinical in the position.
