Chelsea Player Ratings vs Stoke City: Stupendous Display From Eden Hazard

Chelsea Player Ratings vs Stoke City

Chelsea are looking like Champions, even when they play poorly they get away with the results. While they took the lead through a penalty from Hazard, Charlie Adam scored a 65 yard goal from behind the half way line to draw the teams level. Chelsea then needed another brilliant assist by Hazard as Loic Remy scored the winner.

Hazard

We provide the ratings for the Chelsea players from the game:

Thibaut Courtois: 6/10

Caught out with the goal of the season by Charlie Adam, Courtois has looked shaky in the last few games for Chelsea and maybe Petr Cech still has a future at the club.

Branislav Ivanovic: 6/10

Wasn’t really troubled much during the game and had a rather easy afternoon for Chelsea.

Gary Cahill: 7/10

Did pretty well to shut out the Stoke City attack, Chelsea dominated possession and that started with their defence shutting out the Stoke attack.

John Terry: 7/10

The captain led from the front, although he did not have to do much to stop the flow of attacks, the game was rather closer than it should have been, but that was a problem with the midfield, not the defence.

Cesar Azpilicueta: 7/10

Another game and another decent performance by Azpilicueta, the Spaniard seems to be extremely comfortable compared to Filipe Luis and should be happy with his performance against Stoke.

Cesc Fabregas: 7/10

Cesc won the penalty thanks to some great footwork and even with a damaged nose during the game; he did enough to tick the Chelsea team and helped them to a 2-1 win over their opponents.

Nemanja Matic: 6/10

The pair of Matic and Fabregas seem to have been caught up to, Stoke did have a decent go at them and their midfield did match up to the Serbian who seemed to be a little rusty.

Willian: 8/10

Although Willian did not score a goal, he did have a hand in both of the goals Chelsea scored. He passed the ball to Fabregas for the penalty and then stole the ball from a throw out by Begovic and passed it to Hazard for the assist.

Oscar: 5/10

Ineffective throughout the game, Oscar does not look like the same player who was terrorizing defences a few months back, he seems to be missing something and was substituted at the start of the half with Diego Costa.

Eden Hazard: 9/10

Tricky, pacey and a problem for the Stoke City defence throughout the game, Eden scored the penalty to give Chelsea the lead and was cool enough to slot the ball away from the diving Begovic. He also created the second goal and laid it on a platter for Remy to finish.

Loic Remy: 7/10

Scored the all-important second goal in the game, he didn’t really do much in the game but his second goal was also his final touch and could have been the most important goal of his Chelsea career.

Substitutes:

Diego Costa: 4/10

Brought on for the ineffective Oscar in the second half but came off the field with a hamstring injury in the 56th minute, could not do much in the game and was replaced by Didier Drogba.

Didier Drogba: 6/10

Was brought on in place of the injured Diego Costa. He should have scored at least one goal but was blocked twice by Begovic.

Juan Cuadrado: 5/10

The Colombian came on in place of the second goal scorer, Loic Remy in the second half but barely did anything special during the game.
