Petr Cech – 7
A quiet night for Petr, who went the right way for the penalty and rushed out well late on.
Filipe Luis – 7.5
Got forward well, assisted the own goal brilliantly.
John Terry – 8
Immaculate at the back, and surprisingly raced forward to score the third too.
Kurt Zouma – 7.5
Perfect performance from the Frenchman, who seems to be perfect cover for Cahill.
Branislav Ivanovic – 7.5
Typical marauding runs all game from the Serb, who dived outrageously to win the second penalty.
Cesc Fabregas – 8
Controlled the game masterfully and never looked troubled.
Nemanja Matic – 7.5
Devoured every Maribor attack, set Chelsea’s tempo after Fabregas was taken off.
Willian – 8
Ran the Maribor defenders ragged for the entire game, and could have scored a screamer which crashed off the bar.
Eden Hazard – 9
Tricks, flicks, goals and more from Hazard. The sixth was a thing of beauty, showing perfect control and touch with both feet.
Oscar – 7.5
Didn’t have as long as his fellow attackers to impose himself before he was taken off, but a typically balanced performance from the Brazilian.
Loic Remy/ Didier Drogba – 6.5
Remy looked dangerous and scored in the little time he had on the pitch, Drogba looked a little off the pace and once again wasn’t really able to keep up with the speed of Chelsea’s attacking play.
