Chelsea player ratings vs Tottenham - Premier League
Edouard Mendy - 7
Good early save from Aurier’s shot. Authoritative. Commanded his area.
Reece James - 7
Got forward well but troubled by Bergwijn coming down his flank. Good crosses. Booked.
Kurt Zouma - 7
Powerful as ever in the air. So strong and getting better on the ball. Booked.
Thiago Silva - 7
So commanding and cool at the back. Used the ball well.
Ben Chilwell - 7
Couple of good bursts down the line. Wasted one chance.
N'Golo Kante - 8
So crucial in that deep role but also gets forward well and sharp passer. Never gives up and always in the right place.
Mateo Kovacic - 6
Neat and tidy but struggled to make an impact. Got better as th game went on.
Mason Mount - 7
One of two good bursts forward. Neat and skilful. Foiled at the end by great save.
Hakim Ziyech - 6
Quiet - had an early shot but didn’t really threaten. Needs to do more.
Timo Werner - 6
Had one effort disallowed when offside. Quiet. Poor game by his standards.
Tammy Abraham - 6
Held the ball up well, but didn’t do enough. Didn’t make the most of his chances.
