1. OLIVIER GIROUD (6.5, sub)
Minutes: 15
Touches: 8
Passes: 1/4
Shots: 1*/1
Fouls drawn: 1
Well, somebody had to be at the top, so it might as well be Olivier Giroud, who scored the consolation goal. Incidentally, after having gone without a goal for the entire start of the season, Giroud has Chelsea’s last two goals — that it took three games to get them says it all about the misfiring attack.
2. KEPA ARRIZABALAGA (5.8)
Minutes: 90
Touches: 38
Passes: 23/27
Saves: 6
Kepa didn’t cover himself in glory on the second goal, and he made a couple shocking passes, too, but he also kept the scoreline from being even more obviously embarrassing.
3. N’GOLO KANTÉ (5.6)
Minutes: 90
Touches: 66
Passes: 40/48
Tackles+Blocks+INTs: 4+3+7
Remember how good the news of Kanté’s five-year contract extension felt? Let’s go back to there!
