How we rated the Irons against Chelsea

Niall McDonald hands out the marks

Fabianski: Redeemed himself following last week’s error with 2 fine saves from Mount 8

Coufal: Usual professional defensive display, passed up another chance to shoot when through in the Chelsea area 7

Diop: Covered the left side of defence very well for me 8

Ogbonna: Thankfully he’s back from injury, with more suspensions to deal with… 7

Balbuena: The most ridiculous VAR decision I’ve seen so far (and that’s saying something) – had defended very well to that point 8

Fredericks: Looks unstoppable running in a straight line, some end product needed. Defended well though 7

Noble: Probably the best we can expect to see these days 6

Soucek: Curbing a lot of attacking instincts, hopefully Rice will be back to free him up a bit soon 6

Fornals: Tough going against the excellent Chelsea defence 6

Lingard: Very quiet, unfortunately. A few surges forward and one fine effort from nothing 6

Bowen: Double-shift tonight up-front and covering the right side as well 7

Subs

Lanzini: Unable to affect the game against this quality of opposition 4

Benrahma: One decent piece of skill and cross followed up by a slashed effort in stoppage time. Trying very hard not to write him off 4

Johnson: On very late for Fredericks No rating
