Making his first Premier League start for Chelsea, Adarabioyo slotted in seamlessly alongside Thiago Silva. He read the game well, made crucial interceptions, and demonstrated impressive composure.
Levi Colwill – 6
Colwill continued his excellent form this season, nullifying Jarrod Bowen’s threat and showcasing his defensive prowess. He remained focused throughout, ensuring West Ham’s attack was largely ineffectual.

Noni Madueke – 6
Madueke was relatively quiet, struggling to make a significant impact on the game. He had a few half-chances but was often overshadowed by Jadon Sancho’s brilliance on the opposite flank.
Jadon Sancho – 7
Sancho’s clever one-twos and exceptional footwork caused problems for West Ham’s defense. His assist for Jackson’s opener showcased his vision and creativity.
Cole Palmer – 7.5
Palmer’s transformation from a quiet first half to a game-changing second half was remarkable. His pace and determination led to the decisive counter-attack goal, sealing the win.
