Goals from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa in either half settled the match and here is how Jose Mourinho’s men rated.
13. Thibaut Courtois (Cech, 24′) – 6
Was forced off the pitch midway through the first half as after a heavy collision with Alexis Sanchez the goalkeeper was bleeding from the ear and had to go to hospital.
2. Branislav Ivanovic – 7
Kept the Chile international under wraps down the left hand side and continues to greatly impress at right-back.
24. Gary Cahill – 6
Probably should have been sent off for a studs up challenge on Sanchez, but made up for that with a solid display in the second half.
26. John Terry – 7
Danny Welbeck barely got a sniff in the match as the captain kept the England international quiet and organised the defence brilliantly.
28. Cesar Azpilicueta – 8
Defensively there are few full-backs in the entire division better than this Spain international who will continue to keep Filipe Luis out of the starting XI.
