Chelsea Players’ Performance Ratings: Match Highlights

**Robert Sanchez (7/10):**
Sanchez made a crucial save early in the match against Mateta, showcasing his goalkeeping skills. After that, he had a relatively quiet game, but he was visibly frustrated when his clean sheet was compromised late in the match despite his commendable efforts.

**Reece James (7/10):**
The Chelsea captain delivered another commanding performance, demonstrating defensive solidity and making impactful overlapping runs that contributed to the team’s attacking play.

Chalobah had a strong showing against Mateta, playing a pivotal role in Chelsea’s second goal with an excellent tackle that set up the attack.

**Benoit Badiashile (5/10):**
Badiashile had a moment to forget as he nearly gifted Mateta a chance to score due to a critical error, but Sanchez was on hand to bail him out.

**Marc Cucurella (6/10):**
Cucurella struggled to find his rhythm in this match and had difficulty linking up with Pedro on the left flank. He had an opportunity in the second half but failed to convert.

**Moises Caicedo (6/10):**
Caicedo had to tread carefully after receiving an early yellow card, avoiding further disciplinary action with a cautious approach in his challenges.

Santos showed effectiveness in midfield, making a vital clearance in the first half and winning crucial duels while distributing the ball well.

**Estevao (8/10):**
Estevao delivered an exciting performance, opening the scoring with a brilliant run and finish. He nearly added a second goal before setting up Pedro for Chelsea’s second.

**Enzo Fernandez (7/10):**
Fernandez missed a decent opportunity after receiving a cross from Cucurella but sealed the victory for Chelsea with a confident penalty.

**Pedro Neto (5/10):**
Although Neto put in his usual effort, he struggled to create significant problems for Crystal Palace throughout the match.

**Joao Pedro (8/10):**
Pedro was quiet in the first half but made a significant impact by increasing Chelsea’s lead with a well-executed run and finish, followed by winning a penalty.

**Malo Gusto (N/A):**
Gusto came on late in the match when the outcome was already decided, thus had limited opportunity to influence the game.

**Jamie Gittens (N/A):**
Gittens, another late substitute, also had little time to make an impression on the match.

**Liam Rosenior (7/10):**
Under the management of Rosenior, Chelsea secured an impressive victory at Selhurst Park, marking four wins out of five since he took over from Enzo Maresca, despite the absence of Cole Palmer.
