Chelsea picked up crucial three points at the Vitality Stadium to keep their title defence alive as the beat Bournemouth courtesy of a single goal from Eden Hazard.
Here are the Chelsea players ratings vs Bournemouth:
Courtois: 6/10
Was a spectator for most of the game apart from a late shot from Lewis Cook.
Rudiger: 7.5/10
Provided good support in the attacking half but also provided a shield for Marcos Alonso.
David Luiz: 7/10
Had a more or less comfortable game and wasn’t troubled much.
Azpilicueta: 7.5/10
No blemishes just like his other defensive counterparts and also saved a goal towards the end of the first half.
Marcos Alonso: 6.5/10
Did not provide anything in the forward position during the first 45 though went a lot more forward in the second half. But was caught napping on quite a few occasions and had to be helped out by Rudiger.
Bakayoko: 6/10
Gave the ball away cheaply in a few instances but provided a good screen to the defensive line.
Fabregas: 5.5/10
Looked defensively weak with no N’Golo Kante to help him out in midfield.
Zappacosta: 7/10
Good game and also made a good header infront of his own post in order to save his team.
Hazard: 8.5/10
Was the fulcrum of almost every Chelsea attack and scored the only goal of the match catching up on a defensive slip.
Pedro: 6/10
Had a below average game.
Alvaro Morata: 6.5/10
Should have scored two goals in the first half. Assisted Hazard on the only goal of the night.
