Strangely, he utilized an alternate and more customary procedure this time after the England goalkeeper broadcast his last exertion.
Ben Chilwell - 6
Tolerance is required with Ben Chilwell who looked off the speed at Goodison Park. He won the punishment with a canny run yet his touch and passing weren't at the significant level before the injury.

Real specifically.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek - 6
His immediate running out of position at wing-back nearly saw him with a one-on-one, just to be pulled somewhere around Vitalii Myolenko. In the event that Chelsea doesn't sign another right-sided safeguard, the local star will wind up at wing-back undeniably on a more regular basis.
Christian Pulisic - 6
