1. EDEN HAZARD (7.6)

Minutes: 90
Touches: 70
Passes: 25/27
Shots: 2/3
Take-ons: 8/13
Fouls drawn: 7

Quite congested at the top with just hundredths separating the top three, but Hazard edges it just ahead of Kanté and Hudson-Odoi, with Rüdiger not far behind for the four highest rated performers on the night. But a decent statistical day for Hazard (7 drawn fouls, double-digit dribbles, multiple shots) unfortunately did not reflect in goals on the scoreboard.

2. N’GOLO KANTÉ (7.6)

Minutes: 90
Touches: 76
Passes: 50/58
Shots: 2/3
Take-ons: 2/2
Tackles+Blocks: 7+3

Kanté adds yet another “hit woodwork” to Chelsea’s season tally, which is getting a bit ridiculous at this point. Chelsea took almost three times as many shots as Spurs and just about tripled their xG as well — but only had 1 more on target than Spurs’ four. Alas.

3. CALLUM HUDSON-ODOI (7.6)

Minutes: 78
Touches: 67
Passes: 43/53
Shots: 1/2
Take-ons: 1/3

Probably the biggest senior start of young Hudson-Odoi’s career. He did not look out of place, and hopefully this will be the start of a long and happy and important Chelsea career.
