Cole Palmer was back in fine form for Chelsea and is one of the reasons that they put in such a good performance, with the stats proving this as well.

Palmer was also involved in Chelsea’s first goal of the game in the opening minutes, as well as some good work by Romeo Lavia and Pedro Neto to setup Enzo Fernandez to provide a lovely finish to get things going.

Madueke shining

Chelsea winger Noni Madueke has been shining in recent games and it seems like it comes as no coincidence that it’s come after Maresca switched him from right wing to left wing.

He has really been thriving there and actually looks better on the left than he does on the right.

Cundy on Madueke

Former Blue Jason Cundy has been praising Madueke’s performances on the left.

He told talkSPORT: “Noni has been excellent out there [on the left wing]. The thing I love about Noni is whenever he picks the ball up, he looks that way [forward]. His first instinct with his first touch, ‘How can I get beyond you? How can I get in behind you?’ What I noticed he did against Liverpool, and he does this very well on the right-hand side, but he will come inside on his right. Most left-footers out there tend not to. Left-footers love it on the right…

“When you’ve got a winger that can go both ways and threaten, as a full-back now you’re asking questions. He does that; Saka’s one of the best, goes out on the right and comes inside. You need to threaten both [ways]. Noni has been really good, really impressive.”
