How we rated the Irons at the Bridge

Hugh hands out his marks

Martin: Thank God for the son of Alvin – confident debut which spread through the team  7

Fredericks: Some really great defending at times – excellent performance 7

Men of the match for me

Balbuena: Some really dodgy moments in the first 45 but played his part in the second 6

Ogbonna: Almost an mom performance – some great blocks, tackles – all a defender should be 8.5

Cresswell: Defended so well and scored a magnificent goal – top display 8.5

Rice: Broke stuff up, passed his way out of trouble, burst forward on two or three fabulous runs – brilliant stuff 9.5

Noble: At the heart of everything and always harrying Chelsea’s midfield and breaking stuff down 7.5

Anderson: Subbed as usual around 70th minute. Very little trickery, kept it simple throughout and put in a fair shift 6.5

Snodgrass: What you see is what you get from Snoddy. High energy as usual and always trying to set stuff up 7.5

Fornals: No creative stuff but more than justified his inclusion with his best performance so far. Worked hard. 6.5

Antonio: Outstanding in the one-up role – always on the move, causing problems and unlucky not to clinch it with his goal ruled out by VAR 9.5

Subs:

Yarmolenko: Worked hard in his limited time on the pitch 6

Haller: A subdued performance after the Antonio show 5

 Masuaku: Late arrival. Did fine but had little chance to show what he’s about 5
