How we rated the Irons against Chelsea
Adrian: Two very sharp saves which kept us in the game before Costa’s winner 6
Antonio: Do we blame the player for a clumsy foul which led to the penalty – or manager for once again playing him there? Looked crushed when subbed 4
Reid: Looked to have conceded a penaty in the first half but got away with it 4
Collins: Usual 100% application in defence and a very unusual half-volley nearly got us a point 7
Masuaku: Not really tested defensively; very crisp, sharp passer 5
Nordtveidt: Any of the defensive three could have come off but Nordtveidt had played the most ineffective sideways passes 4
Noble: Was unable to raise his game in a London derby for a change 4
Kouyate: Keen to get forward and support Carroll in the first half 5
Ayew: Dear me… Lasted 32 mins before succumbing to injury. 20 goals seems a long way away tonight 3
Carroll: Once again, very very isolated up front. Can’t fault his energy, effort or defensive work – but given nothing to work with up front 6
Valencia: Poor, again. More lively when Payet came on 4
Subs Tore: Quick and strong. Tracked back whenever asked to. Didn’t see him in flight going forward 4
Byram: A better right-back than Antonio. Deserves the chance to play there consistently 5
Payet: As the cliché goes, we looked a different team when he came on. Hadn’t thought we’d be so impotent without him 6
