Late defeat for Chelsea at Villa Park as a Jorgensen mistake gifts Emery’s side the three points.
An improvement in performance and definitely a harsh defeat. That’s the way it is though right now.
Player ratings below :
Filip Jorgensen – 5
Would’ve been higher if it wasn’t for his fatal error late on. Actually made a couple of decent saves throughout the game but, his late mistake cost us a point.
Malo Gusto – 5
Not great, not awful. Couple of solid defensively contributions bit ultimately it counted for nothing.
Trevoh Chalobah – N/A
Levi Colwill – 5
Better than what he’s offered recently but not overly convincing. Looked a lot more aggressive, stepping up tonight.
Marc Cucurella – 6
Decent overall I thought. 95% passes completed, won three of his five ground duels too. Not too bad.
Enzo Fernandez – 7
Scored early on and had a really good game for the most part. However, couldn’t step up in line with our other defenders and played Rashford onside in the build up to their equaliser. Looked a lot more like a confident version of himself.
Reece James – 6
Looked fairly tidy overall in a slightly different midfield role. Wasn’t perfect but I think it’s something that could work moving forward the more we do it.
Moises Caicedo – 7
Not too bad overall, a lot better than recent games. Solid in most parts on the ball, won half of his ground duels too. Can’t complain too much.
Pedro Neto – 7
Had a really decent game tonight given he was playing in an unfamiliar position most of the game. Lovely assist for our goal, taking on Maatsen and being really direct.
Christopher Nkunku – 3
Horrific. Never ever in the game at any point, no link up play, no chances created even for him. Awful.
Cole Palmer – 4
Again never really in the game. Had a glorious chance to possibly win it for us with 15 to play but slipped at the vital moment. Not his night.
Substitutes:
Jadon Sancho – N/A
Tosin Adarabioyo – 5
Came on early and did okay overall. Nothing to write home about.
Enzo Maresca – 6
I was fairly happy to have seen something that felt at least a little different tonight. Ultimately let down by errors again, and I place little to no blame on him.
