- Enzo Fernández (7.5/10): Controlled the midfield with ease, keeping the tempo high.
- Levi Colwill (8/10): Solid at the back and contributed with a goal from a set piece.
- Robert Sánchez (6.5/10): Not much to do but handled the few threats well.
Southampton
- James Ward-Prowse (6/10): Tried to rally the team with his set-piece delivery, but it wasn’t enough.
- Kyle Walker-Peters (5/10): Struggled to cope with Chelsea’s relentless attack.
