7įred The Brazilian was average on the ball, but his energy was useful and he irritated Chelsea at times. He was an efficient screen in front of his back four and he used his strength to shackle Ziyech. Nemanjc Matic The midfielder’s experience proved vital.

Substitutes: Mason Mount (for Alonso 78) The midfielder was roared on to the pitch, but he could not find a killer pass, 6 Christian Pulisic (for Hudson-Odoi 78) The American was dangerous after coming on to play at right wing-back, 6 Romelu Lukaku (for Werner 82) The striker was unable to make the difference against his old team, 6.
United stopped him using his pace on the break and he missed a great chance to equalise.
Timo Werner It did not feel like a game for the German. He needed to be braver with his dribbling and was eventually taken off. 5Ĭallum Hudson-Odoi The winger was wasteful with two good chances in the first half. His decision-making left much to be desired. Hakim Ziyech The Moroccan had a fitful game, too often allowing United to muscle him off the ball. His lack of pace was a problem, allowing United to squeeze Chelsea’s left flank. Marcos Alonso The Spaniard was ineffective after coming in for the injured Ben Chilwell. There were some driving runs but it was not his day. Ruben Loftus-Cheek He dwelled on the ball too much and infuriated Thomas Tuchel when he failed to release Werner in the 55th minute. He made amends by rescuing a point from the spot. That proved a problem when he was the last man and his failure to deal with Fernandes’s punt gifted Sancho the opener. Jorginho The midfielder is not the kind of player who gets rid.
