1. N’GOLO KANTÉ

Minutes: 90
Touches: 113
Passes: 85/92
Shots: 1/1
Take-ons: 3/3

Judging by the average rating of all the players, this was Chelsea’s third worst outing of the season, following the 3-0 loss to Roma and the 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace. It certainly felt like the latter, or the second half of the former, with Chelsea listless and weak and uninspired.

The one difference on Saturday from those two games? N’Golo Kanté.

2. THIBAUT COURTOIS

Minutes: 90
Touches: 36
Passes: 23/25
Saves: 1

Chelsea’s “franchise goalkeeper” with another solid effort, beaten once with a great effort and generally okay with the ball at his feet.

3. CÉSAR AZPILICUETA

Minutes: 90
Touches: 102
Passes: 77/87
Shots: 0/1
Tackles: 3
Blocks+INTs: 3

When in doubt, vote Dave.
