CHELSEA PLAYER RATINGS: Defender’s shocker, winger missed huge chance as anonymous Celtic blew away Enzo Maresca’s Blues
Celtic Park erupted in joyous celebration as Ange Postecoglou’s men secured a comprehensive 3-1 win over Chelsea. The Bhoys dominated the match from start to finish, with the visitors struggling to mount any significant threat.
Here are our Chelsea player ratings for the match:
Kepa Arrizabalaga – 4/10: The Spanish goalkeeper was culpable for Celtic’s opener, spilling a straightforward effort from Kyogo Furuhashi. He made some decent saves later in the game but ultimately struggled to contain the Bhoys’ attack.
Trevor Chalobah – 6/10: The young defender looked solid at times but was also caught out of position on several occasions, allowing Celtic’s attackers to exploit his lack of experience.
Andreas Christensen – 5.5/10: The Danish centre-back struggled to keep pace with Celtic’s high-pressing game and lost the ball numerous times in the opening half. He improved slightly after the break but still had a forgettable outing.
Reece James – 7/10: The right-back was one of Chelsea’s better performers, providing width down the flank and delivering some decent crosses into the box.
Hakim Ziyech – 6.5/10: The Dutch midfielder showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately failed to make a telling impact on the game. He missed a huge chance in the first half when he fired wide from close range.
Mason Mount – 7.5/10: The attacking midfielder was Chelsea’s most creative force, constantly probing and probing for openings. He deservedly scored their consolation goal with a fine finish.
Mateo Kovacic – 6.5/10: The Croatian midfielder worked hard in the middle of the park but struggled to exert any real control over proceedings.
Christian Pulisic – 7/10: The American winger had some encouraging moments, particularly early on when he linked up well with Mount and Ziyech. However, he faded as the game wore on.
Armando Broja – N/A: The young striker came off the bench late in the match but didn’t have any meaningful opportunities to make an impact.
