Chelsea Player Ratings: Chelsea's Premier League 5-1 win over Southampton as they climb to second

The Blues entered the 14th match of the Premier League season in excellent form, in contrast to the home team Southampton who were in a terrible form. As expected, Chelsea won without much difficulty. In the first half, Chelsea took the lead through Axel Disasi who jumped in front of the goalkeeper to head the ball in the 7th minute before being immediately equalized by Kyle Walker-Peters. However, Chelsea took

the lead again after a mistake from the home team and Christopher Nkunku sent the ball into the back of the net followed by Noni Madueke who scored another goal. Before the end of the first half, the players of Southampton’s Jack Stephens was sent off in

the second half, and the Saints’ 10-man side could not withstand Chelsea’s heat and were hit with two more goals from Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho, meaning Chelsea comfortably took all three points and are on good momentum to take on Tottenham Hotspur
this weekend.

Chelsea Player Ratings

Filip Jorgensen – 7/10

Did his job perfectly, with no dangerous moments and a couple of crucial saves in the first half, and was less productive today as the home side barely pushed forward in the second half.

Malo Gusto – 7.5/10

There were some moments in the first half where he was out of position, which led to the first goal conceded. Other than that, he played excellently defensively, making 7 successful tackles. His offensive game was exciting, earning 1 assist towards the end of the game.

Axel Disasi – 7.5/10

Always quick-witted and on the move, he gave his https://ufabet999.app team the lead from a corner and was also very strong defensively in the air duels.

Tosin Adarabioyo – 7.5/10

Although he didn’t score, he was still a threat in set-pieces. Today, he scored one goal from the post and another from a corner kick. In defense, he stood firm.

Marc Cucurella – 6.5/10

Didn’t have a particularly impressive performance, but he held his position well and did his job. He had chances to charge up high into the penalty area, but his final ball wasn’t sharp enough.

Enzo Fernandez – 7.5/10

Still in good form today, he assisted on a corner kick that Disasi headed in, and created three golden chances and five crosses.

Moises Caicedo – 7/10

Today was not very lucky because the ref kept giving fouls to the other team. But overall, he ran all over the field to help his teammates. His offense and defense were still strong as usual.

Noni Madueke – 8/10

He was quick and carried the ball well, always working on the left flank of the opposition, scoring a superb goal and providing an important assist. The only complaint was that he had 7 shots today (most in the game) but only scored one goal. He needs to improve his right foot.

Cole Palmer – 7.5/10

Despite scoring once, Palmer’s form has been lackluster, especially today, where he appeared particularly prone to shooting, which led to poor decision-making in the final third.

Joao Felix – 8/10 The

game really drove Chelsea’s game today. Felix was solid on the ball, finding space between the defenders to receive and pass the ball, and also drew four fouls for his team and provided one assist.

Christopher Nkunku – 8/10

Nkunku wasn’t exactly involved in the game today, but when he did, the Frenchman was clinical and valuable, scoring once and providing an assist, while also finding the net four times throughout the game.

Jadon Sancho – (replaced Noni Madueke 72′) – 7.5/10
