Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Robert Sanchez – 4/10 – dropped the ball from the corner that led to Matt Doherty’s goal. However, he did make a couple of decent saves from Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen.

RB – Reece James – 6/10 – played his part in Tosin’s opening goal and kept Cunha quiet, although that wasn’t too hard considering how poorly the Brazilian played.

CB – Tosin Adarabioyo – 7/10 – calmly slotted away Chelsea’s opener, and he was assured when asked to defend as well.

CB – Trevoh Chalobah – 8/10 – was recalled to the starting lineup by Maresca straight after his return from Crystal Palace, and he did not miss a beat.

LB – Marc Cucurella – 7/10 – the Spanish international got into some good positions and he got rewarded with a goal after latching onto Dewsbury Hall’s flick-on.
