Petrovic Gets 8, Gusto With 7.5 | Chelsea Players Rated In Tough Loss Vs Liverpool | OneFootball

Chelsea locked horns with Liverpool at Wembley Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a good result in the Carabao Cup final. The Blues made a solid start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.

The West London club defended well in the second half as the contest finished with a goalless scoreline after 90 minutes.

Chelsea ended up conceding the opening goal in the 118th minute when Virgil Van Dijk found the back of the net with a solid header. The match finished with Mauricio Pochettino’s men suffering a tough 1-0 loss after extra-time.

Let’s take a look at how each Chelsea player performed during the clash against the Reds.

GK: Dorde Petrovic – 8/10

Petrovic made a lot of important saves at the back but won’t be pleased after conceding in the latter stages of extra time.

RB: Malo Gusto – 7.5/10

Gusto kept Luis Diaz in check for most of the game and was a real threat down the right flank.

CB: Axel Disasi – 6.5/10

He did his fair share of defending inside his half and was good on the ball.

CB: Levi Colwill – 7.5/10

Colwill gave a good account of himself on the defensive third of the pitch and won a couple of aerial duels.

CM: Moises Caicedo – 7.5/10

Caicedo anchored the midfield with conviction but lacked quality in the opponent’s half.

RW: Cole Palmer – 7/10

Palmer got himself into some dangerous areas in the Liverpool half but there was no goal for him.

CAM: Conor Gallagher – 7.5/10

He worked hard defensively and was a real menace on the offensive end of the field. However, there was no goal for him this evening.

LW: Raheem Sterling – 6/10

Sterling struggled to get into the flow of the game and was replaced in the 66th minute.

ST: Nicolas Jackson – 6.5/10

He made two encouraging runs with the ball but never looked like he would score.

Substitutes:

ST: Christopher Nkunku – 6.5/10

He was not shy of having a strike at goal.
