Substitutes

Joao Felix. Despite being granted more than 30 minutes, he did not have as much effect on the game as he would have liked. 5/10

Mykhailo Mudryk. Looked great after coming in as a substitute. With the high levels of competition in Chelsea, he will need to put up such displays to earn himself more minutes.

Christopher Nkunku. Started well but did not play adequate minutes to get a rating.
