1. COLE PALMER (7.9)

Chelsea scored two or extra targets for the third Premier League sport working. We haven’t carried out that for a yr. So whereas the final 13 minutes of this sport have been irritating and maddening, there have been loads of positives to take and construct upon from the primary 77 minutes. Which will really feel like a hole constructive, however that’s the character of any undertaking.

And Palmer has shortly made himself indispensable to stated undertaking. It’s no coincidence that this three-match streak of precise goal-scoring has are available in three of his 4 begins this season. Sadly, it was Palmer himself who missed a straightforward likelihood that will’ve certainly completed off the sport at 3-0.

However in any other case, it was one other glorious efficiency from the teen, at the same time as we went with a barely totally different, striker-less look in assault firstly. He has now been voted Man of the Match in three of our final 4 video games.

2. MYKHAILO MUDRYK (7.6)

Mudryk was instantly concerned in each targets, drawing the penalty when his header hit defender William Saliba’s outstretched arm, after which scoring our second, and claiming hat he meant it. There was definitely a component of luck in each targets, however generally you do make your personal luck .. and we’ve been due some breaks.

Mudryk has three targets this month for membership and nation, and is beginning to look assured on the market. Pochettino needs extra, and there’s undoubtedly a lot extra to come back — particularly if he retains going at this charge. (And I don’t imply simply working quick or kicking laborious.)

3. CONOR GALLAGHER (7.6)

Gallagher’s performances have stepped up one other degree since he inherited the armband. He may need to provide that up now, however hopefully he’ll preserve his personal kind going. That is now his fourth look within the high three, second most on the group (Palmer has six).
