Petr Cech - 6
Not much to do but he looked focused and confident behind Terry and Cahill.

Branislav Ivanovic - 7
He gets to his opponent very quickly. He also does very well in the air and gets forward.

Gary Cahill - 7
More comfortable with Terry alongside him. Urgency in his defending and used the ball well.

John Terry - 7
Looked a bit muted. But a fine start in his bid to re-establish himself in first team.

Ashley Cole - 7
He’s a winner. Showed no signs yesterday that he has lost any of his desire.

Frank Lampard - 8
Every bit as impressive as the young talent now joining him in the Chelsea midfield.

Ramires - 8
Does the dirty work for the team with a real tenacity. As I’ve said, the new Makelele.

Oscar - 8
Breaks from deep. Great intelligence and passing vision, pace and eye for goal.

Kevin De Bruyne - 7
A good pass for Oscar’s goal but Mata will take his place. It was a step up in class for him.

Eden Hazard - 8
On a par with Oscar and defenders will have real trouble dealing with him. Dynamite!

Fernando Torres - 7
He’s adapted his game to help his team-mates. But he needs help too.

Substitutes
Schurrle (for De Bruyne 67min, 6), Lukaku (for Torres 75, 6), Van Ginkel (for Oscar 85).

Not used: Schwarzer, Essien, Mata, Ba.

Manager: Jose Mourinho - 8
Liked the way he handled himself yesterday. Went about his business in a very calm, professional manner and oversaw a fine performance that put down an early marker for Chelsea.
