STARTING XI:

Sanchez - 7: Sloppy pass in first half which could’ve cost a goal. Couldn’t have done much more with both conceded. Made an important save in the second half.

Caicedo - 6.5: Did well on and off the ball in first half but Lavia coming off didn’t help him. Conceded the penalty.

Acheampong - 6.5: Plenty of positives and lessons to take against tricky opponents. Good forward play from the back, particularly in the first half.

Colwill - 7: Could’ve done better defensively but did play on with a knock.

Cucurella - 7: Brilliant first half, won his duels and didn’t show any vulnerability 1v1.

Lavia - 7: Was fantastic up until moment of losing ball leading to penalty Caicedo conceded.

Enzo - 8: Created 7 chances and made some important tackles to win the ball back in good areas. Put in a shift off the ball too, couldn’t have really done much more.

Madueke - 6.5: Needed to show more end product when 1v1 but deserved an assist in the first half.

Palmer - 8: Composure personified for his goal but eased off in the second half.

Sancho - 7.5: Another who had a fantastic first half but impact lessened slightly in second. Was direct and a joy to watch.

Jackson - 6.5: Quality assist for Palmer’s goal but should’ve scored two. Same story again.

SUBSTITUTES:

James - 8: Didn’t put a foot wrong in midfield and produced a moment of magic with a free kick in the final moments of the game.

Tosin - 7: Added much needed composure and nous at the back. Made an important block and nearly scored a great header.

Felix - 7: Showed quality on the ball, picked up some good positions.

Neto - 5: Continues to disappoint playing off the right flank.

Enzo Maresca on Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth [H] in the Premier League:

🔥 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬’ 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞-𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:

“I am very happy for him, he deserved that after a difficult moment. It also gave us the point so I am happy for him and I am happy for us.

“I am so happy for him that he had this moment and the target for him now is to be fit until the end [of the season] and for him to help us in the way we want to play.

“Reece can compare with Cole [Palmer] in terms of free-kicks because he is very good.

“We decided for Reece and he scored and we are all happy because at least we took a point.”

🤷‍♂️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞:

“It was probably one of our best first halves of the season. The way we were playing on the ball and off the ball, the way we created so many chances, we had around 15 shots, and the first half has to finish with a different score because at least 2-0 was what we deserved.

“Then in the second half, after the penalty, we dropped a little bit and we probably need to understand the reason why.

“The feeling is like a little bit of a shame because when you play the way you played in the first half, where we played really, really good, you need to be clinical.”
